Bird flu 'causes first dog death'

A stray dog has died of bird flu in the Caspian nation of Azerbaijan, health officials have said - thought to be the first time the virus has killed a dog. Azerbaijan reported its first three human deaths from bird flu on Monday. The World Health Organization has yet to confirm bird flu caused the human deaths, but said the US Navy lab that carried out the tests was reliable. The deaths of the three young Azeri women would take the WHO total for human deaths from bird flu to 101.
