Answer:
Influenza is a type of disease referred to a zoonosis. It means that it can be transmitted from one animal group, to another. Yes, it is possible to transmit the flu from animals to people, and vice versa, but this is rare.

Answer:
I think that dogs and humans can pass their viruses back and forth to each other. He might have it. If he seems sick after a couple of days talk to a vet over the phone or see one.
