This virus becomes the eighth known in human Coronavirus and the first which transmitted by dogs

Unfortunately, the study published in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases on May 20, 2021, cannot be proved whether the Coronavirus in dogs causes pneumonia in children other types of microbes are responsible for it. The child is also infected with rhinovirus or a virus that causes the common cold in humans.

If the dog virus did cause illness in children three years ago, it's unclear whether this strain of Coronavirus can spread between humans.
