#4. Dogs licking babies in the mouth and face with the same tongue the dog uses to lick its butt. Bleah.
From a doctor with the American Kennel Club:
"This behavior should not be allowed for health and safety reasons.
A dog’s mouth carries a lot of germs, which can easily be passed to people.
This is especially true for babies and immune suppressed adults. Both are at an increased risk of contracting infections and parasites from dogs. So, even though it may look cute, a dog licking a baby’s face should not be allowed. In fact, I don’t recommend it even for healthy adults."
To be fair, babies are germy little squirts, too. So maybe it all cancels out.
Domestic, We all carry germs. Dogs lick their butts and a lot of humans don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Blah blah blah. I'm seriously so sick of your sanctimonious comments as if you're an authority. Meanwhile, you're continously reminding us all of your chronic health issues. (And yes, it's obvious who you are regardless of the anonymous comment feature here on Izi.) We're not here for life lessons. We like to look at pictures and be on our way.
