He had some serious immune deficiencies for that to happen.
That is why I always feel guilty while being licked all over.
Oh the humanity!
or some unusual genetic factors or perhaps some co-factors.
also, is it only in dog saliva?
useless article…not enuff info…
At least he didn’t lick his ass first…
That dogs a germ spreading whore.
I guess I should warn my father-in-law. He claims having his dog lick open sores is the best way to heal them.
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many Capnocytophaga species are considered normal bacteria commonly found in the mouths of humans, dogs, and cats. In fact, up to 74 percent of dogs and up to 57 percent of cats have Capnocytophaga detected in their mouths.
Capnocytophaga can cause opportunistic infections, meaning they have to have the right conditions to cause an infection, such as when a person has a weakened immune system.”
‘…also found in humans…’
There is more to this story than is being told.
My doggos just gave me licks and said they feel badly for the man.

@Manbearpig, unbelievable that people believe dogs tongues are sterile. I always ask if they’re sterile before or after they licked their packages.
Well, I reckon I’m dead then; don’t care, wouldn’t give up Mr. Dog in any instance.
This is BULLSHIT. There are Muslims in the media and they hate dogs, so this is just propaganda to attack our K-9 friends. Any half decent dog is worth at least 10 liberals, and around 300 muslims.
grayjohn- I agree. I almost commented about the muslim/dog thing myself. Glad you did.
sometimes the way things are done is seditiously.
ps’ sorry about the double posting above. It was the russians, I tell ya
Never kiss a dog? How about Hillary, Bill Clinton, Stormy Fields, Whopie, Jay,or anyone on The View, or CNN.
You never know where those lips/ tongues have been. My bad.
@Moe Tom, they don’t lick their ass, they are ass.
When I was a kid, my mom explained to me about why dogs always sniff each other’s ass. She said that one night all of the dogs had gotten together at the firehouse to play cards. (You might have seen one of the famous portraits that depict those card playing dogs). Anyway, in order to be more comfortable while sitting in their chairs, they took off their tails and hung them up on the wall. Everything was going fine until there was a fire alarm. All the dogs jumped up, grabbed a tail and rushed off to fight the fire. But unfortunately, none of the dogs got the right tail. So, when you see a dog sniffing another dog’s backside, what they are doing is looking for their right tail.
My Mom was smart and helped me understand a lot of things that come in handy today.
Dif Tim. Yeah, but they sure lick other’s ass.
These News Stories just kill the Peanut Butter industry.
Manbearpig, I grew up being told that.
I know this is off subject, but what kind of medicine would make you be driving down the road and see a horse in the pasture and decide to strip off your clothes and have sex with it?
Plus can you imagine being another person driving down the road and seeing a naked man screwing a horse and then seeing the naked man being chased by the cops across the pasture?
It would really suck to be his wife.
