they say a dogs mouth is cleaner than humans mouth's ... what do you guys think??
I just looked this up...
According to ABC News, this is basically an urban legend. However, unlike the one about the psycho killer with the hook, this story has a grain of truth. Although the mouth of a typical dog is full of bacteria, it's "species specific." So, if a dog were to lick a person, most of the germs wouldn't transfer. "Bottom line -- you're more likely to get a serious illness from kissing a person than kissing a dog."
The myth may have stemmed from the way pups lick their wounds. A dog's tongue gets rid of dead tissue so wounds heal faster. Perhaps folks concluded that dog saliva is "healthy." Hardly the case, but you shouldn't be afraid of licks. They might be gross, but they're not dangerous.
YOU DECIDE
I know dogs do some disgusting stuff, but if you stop and think about it, people do stuff just as gross. We eat without washing our hands, bite our fingernails after we touch door knobs.. what if someone came out of the bathroom and didnt wash their hands and touched that door knob?? YOUR NOT LICKING YOURSELF, YOUR LICKING OTHER PEOPLE!! HELLLO.. and NO ONE can say they arent guilty of eating without washing their hands first at least one time.. NO ONE! So, do I think a dogs mouth is cleaner? You bet cha!
obviously that is not true because a dog cleans the germs off them selves, and clean the private parts, so no dogs dont have a cleaner mouth than a human's mouth
no way because I have like 3 poodles and there breath is funky to the maximum!!!
