It's interesting that some people are bothered by dogs licking
plates. These same people wouldn't think twice about eating from a
plate that was washed after it held raw meat or a bowl that was
washed after it held that moldy macaroni from the back of the fridge.

Do they think that dog saliva is somehow worse than raw meat juices?
No, they don't think it is because they don't even think about it in
that way. They simply say "Yuck" and get all grossed out.

As well, a real dog owner doesn't think twice about getting those doggy
kisses from their dog...

And there's some recent scientific evidence supporting the notion that doing so improves
the owner's immune system.
