Do you mind if your dog licks your face?

I was at the dog park and a guy knelt down and let my dog lick all over his face and mouth and he didn't even try to close his own mouth it was GROSS - in my opinion. Is this guy crazy, or do some people actually enjoy mouth-to-mouth with their pooch? Do you ever put something in your mouth that your dog licked - such as a spoon or ice cream cone?

Every now & then one of my 6 dogs will sneak a kiss in, which I don't mind at all. But I know what they've been doing with those cute little kissers & the private places they love to lick & clean. So in the mouth-not so much

I allow my dog to lick my face, but not my mouth -- I know where his mouth has been!
My dog has more of an affinity for ears ! Yuck, my husband lets him lick them.

My dog has never been a kisser. My roommate has two dachshunds that will lick anypart of your face they get within tongue distance of. Therefore the one who eats poop never gets with tongue distance of my face.

My dog will lick any bit of bare skin he can find - if you let him. I'll let him kiss my cheek or forehead, but I don't let him get near my mouth (he still tries, though).

My dogs give me kisses all the time, they don't lick inside my mouth but they kiss my face. I guess it's just the way I am with my dogs.

I hate it when dogs lick me. Don't get me wrong I love dogs, but licking of the hand is fine, but the face is too far. I do not know where the other dogs mouth has been and I do not even let my own dogs lick me.

I think it's sweet when my dogs (or other dogs I know) give me kisses on my face. But never in the mouth...yuck!

As gross as it sounds, I even let my animals eat out of my dish. I feel like they are my babies and it's ok. Now I couldn't do it with someone else's pet

I let Sydney lick me -- but draw the line at mouth -- Cavs are lickers -- no way to prevent it!
