This person posted this on the hep c forum and it got kicked over to here.  They probably don't even know where their question went.

Not possible.

I am almost absolutely certain that the human Hepatitis C virus is a completely different strain to the Canine Hepatitis C virus, and that they do not interact/cross over.

In any case I believe the Hep. C virus would have to be transmitted blood to blood.
