Can dogs contract or transmit leprosy from armadillos?

Last night my dog attacked a three banded armadillo in Texas. Armadillos can carry leprosy. Look it up if you doubt me. Could my dog be at risk for contracting the disease? I know humans can contract leprosy from armadillos but could my dog? Or could he be a carrier for the disease and thereby expose my family to danger?

Where can I buy a three banded armadillo, and are they legal in the state of California?

I can never find one so it is really annoying,if it is not legal in California first person gets ten points, otherwise the person closest to California gets the ten point.

anyone know where i can buy a three banded armadillo?

Not a nine banded one. Preferably in IL.
