Did the dogs really have bubonic plague?


I read that during the escape, they walked through a laboratory where the bubonic plague was being studied.

This coincides with what I saw in the movie where rawf knocks over some glass.

What do you think?

reply

No, they never did.

reply

There's no way for us to tell.

Obviously there's a chance they had it, hence the military operation.

reply

They never made it into the room secured by a bolt that they pass when escaping the lab. The sheepdog towards the end confirms they have no sickness as he would smell it in them otherwise.

I give my respect to those who have earned it; to everyone else, I'm civil.
