I love dogs as well as any dog lover, though my most dearly loved dogs are not alive any more, but those who purport to love dogs should know that it is never a good idea to:
approach any dog you do not know,
try to befriend a dog that has recently suffered a traumatic event,
get close to a dog in strange environment, with lights, cameras, action,
cozy up to an 85 pound animal, especially of the guard dog mentality,
and, most importantly, do not try to kiss on the lips a dog that is snarling and baring its teeth, especially if that dog has a head the size of a cinder block, with teeth that look like chisels.
Those who disregard the above advice may well find themselves the recipient of 70 or so stitches and with their mouths sewn shut so their new lips have a chance to establish themselves.
Nature had certain functions in mind as to what dogs were to do with their mouths, and it's pretty obvious what those functions are when dogs in their natural state greet each other and groom themselves. Some dogs will lick, or kiss, practically anything, including the faces and hands of human beings. Maybe some humans have a similar need (Steve Caporizzo and his "kisses" to canines), and if so, remember you do have 10 fingers, but only one face.
