Dogs are animals that are very close to humans and are said to be human's best friends. However, dogs can also harm humans. You might think that dogs can only cause rabies, but not only that.

A baby from China must receive treatment at the hospital. A 5-year-old baby named Dong Dong felt pain in his eyes, when examined by a doctor there was a worm in the child's eyes. Not just one, but 11 worms crawled in the child's eyes.
The worms are Thelazia callipaeda, the parasite nematodes that live in the eyes of dogs that can spread to humans.

If you have a dog, you should routinely take your dog to the vet to avoid Thelazia callipaeda.
You certainly don't want you or your family to get the parasite, right?
