Hmm....I did a google search and everything I'm coming up with says that it is a HUGE uban legend and dogs mouths are very dirty. Some others comments on these sites are from others who did science fair projects as well and they said their results were that the dogs mouths were full of bacteria and other disgusting germs. In case anyone's interested I posted some links below, so they can read. The whole " if they didnt' have germ killing agents built in, they would be sick all the time" I have to say does make a lot of sense though doesn't it..
