Is it true that the flu isn't species-specific and can pass from humans and to pets? I have a service dog... how best do I protect us both?

Certain animals are susceptible to human flu viruses. This includes:

Dogs
Pigs
Ferrets
Birds
Horses
Marine mammals

But, most flu viruses have mostly remained within their own species.
