Thought this may be of interest to some of you, a virus normally found in pigs is now being found in dogs. There have been cases in three states so far. This is a link to a local new story here in Arizona.

The American Veterinary Medical Association has a page on this virus, and it's not as alarming (or widespread) as the news article above indicates-?

From AMVA's page, it looks like the canine version of the circovirus has only been identified in one sick dog, and it's not clear from the info that the virus was even the cause of that dog's symptoms.
