Answer #1

No, that’s a myth, or an old-wives tale, whatever. I’ve heard that said about cats too. The only reason a dog or a cat would be close to your face is to SMELL your breath, not to steal it.

Answer #2

No more than your husband or any thing else living sleeping with you would. What is with the TREE!

Plants are good in a house but you won’t die without them and you won’t die if your dog sleeps with you.

Answer #3

maybe,…but if its true you should put a tiny tree in that room to produce more

Errr no… trees don’t produce oxygen at night. In fact, they produce carbon dioxide.

As far as your dog question, don’t worry about it. If that were actually dangerous, then PEOPLE wouldn’t sleep together either.

Answer #4

I dont think so, I used to always sleep wirth a dog in my bed, on my chest with me… nothing ever happened to me… I think your safe ;P

Answer #5

no, no, no, no! and for the final time, NO! where did you ever get that idea?

Answer #6

No… the dog is not taking oxygen from you. Unless you sleep in a tiny closet that has no air coming in, you’re fine…

Answer #7

maybe,…but if its true you should put a tiny tree in that room to produce more

Answer #8
