Dallas nurse Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola while caring for Thomas Duncan, was declared virus free last week and released from an NIH isolation unit in Bethesda, Maryland.
While Pham was hospitalized in isolation, her dog, Bentley, was cared for by Dallas Animal Services and recently tested negative for Ebola for the third time. Today, Pham and Bentley were reunited:
