i'd like to know why do people with dogs let the dog lick them in the mouth?
i see people with dogs let them lick them all in the mouth. and they in turn will kiss someone else without washing their mouth or brushing their teeth. i know this is a sign of affection from the dog but that could be where a lot of diseases come from ad the doctors can't figure out where these diseases come from. just think when you take the dog out he sniffs other dog's behinds, and all around every where else where other dogs have peed or pooped. then they come and lick you in the mouth.

I have an uncle who's a doctor. He told us that dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's mouth. ('Even when they lick their butts?' I asked. 'Yes!' he said.) In terms of germs or whatever, it's safer to be licked in the mouth by a dog than to kiss someone. So I don't worry about it.

You can't exactly turn to YA with a question like this, we CANNOT speak for the people who let this happen. Instead of asking us, why not ask the people you see allowing it?

Not every dog owner does that and it isn't really right for you to lump all of us together like that.

You have to ask the stupid owners i'm afraid you might do better to limit your question to them therefore

People are emotional and they think their dog is their baby so they should give him a baby treatment. Honestly, I find it gross and immature.
