The article is good TO A POINT, but I don't think it applies to most of us, it talks about people w/compromised immune systems or kids, people w/open sores, bad hygiene and where your dog would get "bad bugs" ie: bad food, eating poop, fleas or worms. Now as responsible caring "parents" we all are
we would never let our babies do such things like rolling in something stinky (see me running screaming w/dog in hand to the tub to wash him), lol I mean stinky things are so much fun. AND as if we had a choice as to whether or not the dog slept in our bed or with us. The article gives good points to be aware of. Thanks for the info, we can never know too much.
