I apologize for nothing

Thank god, the dog will not kill us.

Myth: Leave the puppy love to the dogs.
Fact: Typically doggie kisses are not a cause for concern, but it’s always best to wash up after being slobbered on by any animal. If the dog is unknowingly infected with parasites, they can be found inside the pooch’s mouth. Besides, you can’t be sure what Fido last licked. There have been relatively few studies, but it appears doggy kisses are not an important source of infection for people. In fact, there are fewer viruses and bacteria in a dog’s mouth than in our own. That being said, it is probably not a good idea to have your pet slobber on an infant. A bigger danger comes from petting the fur of a cat or dog whose coat is contaminated with feces or urine. I am not telling you not to touch your pets — but it is important to wash your hands (and those of your child) frequently. Also, it’s a good idea to use gloves when emptying a litter box.
