Yes, it is uncommon but is possible. For example, several dogs were infected by their owners with H1N1/09 (Swine Flu) during the pandemic. The dogs were in very close contact with the owners much of the time. It was also reported to have spread to cats, pigs, and ferrets, as well as birds from humans. Not all types of flu share the same hosts. For example, Type B influenza has hosts from the much smaller group of humans, seals and ferrets.
