Nina Pham, who is now cured of the deadly disease, is Bentley’s owner. Her dog, Bentkey, was quarantined for 21 days & never showed any signs of Ebola.
NBC 5 Investigates asked for city records detailing the expenses. The documents cover the period Oct. 14-Oct. 21. During those eight days, the city reported spending $1,952 to care for the dog. The expenses include:
$757 for a truck and generator
$616 for “healthcare wipes”
$217 for “labor”
$192 for “gloves”
$40 for “duct tape”
$33 for “Clorox bleach”
Syed cautioned the numbers offer only a small snapshot of the initial expenses and said final figures will be more than $10,000.
