They mentioned calling it "the dog's disease" which leads me to think about the fact it wasn't exactly healthy for the dogs to be breathing rock and metal dust all day either. Although they were a little farther back at least.
I’ve read it was called that because of the panting/gasping breathing people who suffered from it did, but definitely not good for the dogs either.
Yeah I agree there's nothing saying the dogs got it, but people didn't really think about animals that way back then.
