That's the part that annoys me when my puppy licks....I kinda like it up to a point but enough is enough.
Dogs do have an 'antiseptic' component to their saliva...it's usually a bit slimy though. Dog's w/o this develop dental problems and bad breath much sooner than ones that do have it. Seen it enough to know.
The anal licking, then to face of, say a child, ain't cool. Can transmit more than bacteria. Round worm eggs (and hook worms too) from dogs can cause serious problems in children. Don't complete the cycle but migrate to other parts of the body. Kinda rare as I recall but possible none the less... Good sanitation and hygeine is always the way to go here.
