Calling all dog owners: Do you sleep with your pet? Does your favorite canine friend give you sloppy kisses on the face?
If your answer is "Yes," you're in good company. A recent survey shows that you, and more than half the other owners who responded, bond with their pets in these ways.
Dr. Kate Stenske, the veterinarian at Kansas State University conducted the survey. She concludes that you're is no more danger of sharing the same types of E. coli bacteria with your Fido than are dog owners who maintain a distance from their pets. Now dog owners everywhere can breathe a deep sigh of relief and continue to enjoy the physical and psychological benefits of pet ownership without fear of unforeseen side effects.Surveys also show that almost half of all dog owners share food with their dogs, and more than half allow the dog to sleep in the bed and lick them on the face. I wonder what percentage of the dogs surveyed drink from the toilet . . . .
