Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious viral illness that affects dogs. The virus manifests itself in two different forms.
The more common form is the intestinal form, which is characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss and lack of appetite.
The less common form is the cardiac form, which attacks the heart muscles of fetuses and very young puppies, often leading to death.

Parvo is generally vaccinated against when the animals are very young.
And it seems that dogs' insight into illness isn't reserved for when fellow members of the species are sick or in pain - earlier this year one dog seemed to have a sixth sense for humans in need of some love.
One man, waiting to board a plane, had just lost his family pet, and really wasn't up for a daunting and stressful airport wait.
A loving little corgi named Cora seemed to really understand the man's pain as she wandered over to sit with and comfort him.

Dogs seem to have an intuition to comfort those in need - the internet is full of amazing viral videos of animals comforting their humans when they're in need.
Like this video of a dog coming to the rescue of its upset human-brother.
But it seems the intense love is mutual - as Tom Hardy proved earlier in the year when he shared a heartfelt goodbye to his canine best friend.
Dogs, eh? Where would we be without 'em?
