Old Biscuit is totally correct! When the day comes that people can bend over far enough to lick their own hind end and other vitals well then we might be on par with dogs and then I suppose we would have to allow them into hospitals and such. I suppose at that point, all new born humans would have to be dewormed also and we can go to the veterinarians office for medical care.
Some one wanted facts regarding reasons to not have dogs in hospital environments?
Dogs routinely carry round worms, tape worms and ringworms which are transmissible to human beings. This can happen after they lick their behind and then give you a big slobbering kiss on the lips. Oh yes dogs also carry fleas and mites which can infect human beings .
My background is in public health and I'm shocked at what some people on this site is proposing. People get real!! Learn the facts before you get emotional about your pets. Think of the other people that are there for medical attention in as reasonably sterile environment as possible!
