Study after study shows thats a dogs mouth actually has fewer germs than a humans mouth.

* The Lee we dog owners like to tell ourselves while this is happening,
Studies have shown, animals DO help cure depression … which is why a lot of “Assisted Living” homes now allows dogs and cats in – to help the old people feel a bit better.
You can pick up germs and get sick, in less enjoyable ways than having a big Labrador showing his affection. Although being Louie he could have detected a morsel of barbequed meat left on the captains chin.
Cats too. Face, they lick themselves in places we wouldn’t.This is why, when you get bit by one, you have to go to the hospital because you can get a really, nasty, infection.

… and if you’re happy to kill 99.9% of germs… aren’t you just breeding the toughest 0.1% to kill us all?

FWIW… I allow dog smoochies on the face… not in the mouth… and my gums are in great shape. .:ºJ

Does it matter? Not like you get sick from a dog licking you anyway.

It’s probably not the amount, but the type that matter.

Dogs: unrequited love, forgiving, happy to see you, best friends, loyal, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

… and…. when dog smoochies are imminent… start “talking” through closed lips. It helps if your patterns of speech are fairly musical… but they get it!

Dogs can make you sick. Strep throat for one thing.

Who loves you more? Lock your dog and your wife/g.f.in the trunk for an hour. When you open it, who’s happy to see you? THE DOG!
