"A 3-year-old Black Labrador Retriever is presented
to its veterinarian at the request of the owner's physician. It
seems that the husband, wife and 2 children in the household have
suffered recurrent bouts of "strept throat." Could the
dog be to blame?"

It also includes information on other zoonotic strains of Streptococcus.
