andrew’s blog of amusing stuff

In a 1990 study done at the University of California, Davis, researchers found dog saliva killed E. coli and Streptococcus canis, another harmful bacteria. The scientists concluded that when mother dogs licked their nipples it helped keep puppies free from disease, and that dogs licking their own wounds accomplished the same goal.

This is an old study, but I came across it only recently and thought it’s kinda interesting.

I like this quote from the article:

I’ll never turn my head from my dog’s kiss again.
