It's believed the pooch in Surrey caught the virus from its owner, according to the BBC. The dog is now recovering at home.
The UK's chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss explained that pet owners shouldn't be too worried:
"It is very rare for dogs to be infected, and they will usually only show mild clinical signs and recover within a few days.
"There is no clear evidence to suggest that pets directly transmit the virus to humans.
"We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will update our guidance to pet owners should the situation change."
