The Spanish nursing assistant, who found out this week that she was cured of Ebola, saw her happiness quickly turn to grief when her husband finally broke the bad news that government officials had killed her dog, Excalibur.

Teresa Romero spent two weeks fighting off the sometimes deadly disease and now must mourn the loss of her four-legged best friend.

Her husband, Javier Limon, told Spanish newspaper El Pais in an interview published Thursday that Romero is now confused and heartbroken that the Madrid government responsible for Excalibur’s death would take the life of her pet.

“She is asking herself why they killed the dog, who wasn’t to blame for anything,” he said, according to the Associated Press.

Madrid officials made the decision to euthanize the mixed-breed dog on Oct. 8 because it was a possible risk of transmitting the deadly disease.

But in Texas, the beloved pooch of Ebola-infected nurse Nina Pham was given a stay of execution for 21 days before tests for the virus came back negative.

Bentley — a year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel — will remain under strict quarantine until he makes it through another 21 days of monitoring.
