How Clean is a Dog's Mouth? (cats, transfer, mean, work)

[lechon]

I was just wondering how clean a dogs mouth is. Some people say that it's cleaner than a humans. In any case I saw this video of a girl that passed out from drinking, and her dog when french kissing on her. Kind of gross and funny at the same time. Please don't watch this if your doggy is in the room...

Yep...pretty gross. I feel sorry for the dog.
Would the dog become second hand drunk ?
I sent this to my Niece, who drinks way too much. Maybe she'll think twice before she drinks too much...probably not. But the video which will gross her out...I hope sticks in her brain cells.
Good video for people who drink too much. You just never know what happens when you get this wasted.

There was a segment about this on "Mythbusters" once. The result was that it was plausible...

From Wiki:

The sample collected from Adam's mouth had much more bacterial growth than the sample collected from Lulu the dog. Jamie suggested, however, that the bacteria from the dog may be more potent.

A dog's mouth is not "clean." There is more bacteria in a dog's mouth than in either cats or humans. However, the majority of those bacteria are species specific. Meaning, most of the bacteria found in a dog's mouth is not transferable to humans.
