I'm not a dog person. I can't imagine every kissing a dog anywhere, and people who treat their dog as their little furry baby seem to me pretty sad.
I've come across videos of people going the whole hog with dogs and kissing with tongues. That strikes me as weird, but what the hey... their mouth and their dog. I wouldn't want to kiss a woman immediately after she did that and I'd let her know I thought it was pretty odd, but it's not like I'd avoid touching her ever after. From what I've read, it's a myth that dogs' mouths are cleaner (in the sense of having less bacteria) than humans, although it is far more likely you'll pick up bacteria or viruses that cause problems for humans from kissing another person. Still, though, they use their tongues to clean themselves, and dogs will eat the most disgusting stuff given half a chance.
The fundamental point here is that you like kissing your fur-baby, and your boyfriend has serious problems with that. The consensus view of what's "normal" and what isn't is irrelevant; this is about you and him. Since it sounds like his reaction is based on gut-level instinct, you'd probably have problems getting him to see things differently.
So I think it really is a case of him or your dog.
I think the 'dog's mouth is cleaner than a humans' has a lot to do with the fact that we can catch way more shit from people that we can from animals.
If you have been bitten by both you will find that doctors run a gamut of test for all the possible infections from the human bite. The place where you were bitten will swell and bruise like you wouldn't believe.
A dog bite leaves puncture wounds and as long as it isn't rabid, doctors aren't too concerned.
Is it normal to kiss your dog?
