Mum told daughter's kiss with family dog on the lips could cause 'death'
A mum has been mercilessly trolled online after posting a seemingly harmless picture of her daughter with the family dog.
Reality TV star Kate Gosselin, who is a mum to eight kids, uploaded an image of her 13-year-old daughter Alexis sharing a smooch with the German Shepherd – and people were not impressed.
Almost immediately, Kate was trolled by commenters who claimed the be experts in the field, with one person even claiming locking lips with a dog could lead to death.
“The love between my human children and my furry children continues to melt my heart on a daily basis, Kate captioned the sweet snap.
“Mak just can't love us enough-- and we feel the same about him! We adore him!”
The trolls came out in force with some people saying that the mum shouldn’t be allowing her daughter to get so close to Max
“Very sweet. I let my fur baby kiss me like that. But it can cause open sores and even lead to death,” the commenter said.
“For someone who was such a germaphob I’m surprised you allow your dogs to lick your kids mouths,” another person said.
Others commented, imploring the mum to think about the fact that they lick their genitals and drink from the toilet.
“Love my fur babies but I draw the line with kisses on the mouth,” one person said.
“I love my fur babies but I also don’t kiss them on the mouth.... seriously. They lick their own butt....eeek!!!,” another concerned fan said.
In another comment, a person claiming to be a vet said that human actually carry more germs in their mouths than cats or dogs.
However, speaking to news.com.au, dog expert Marty Becker said that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
“All you have to do is look, watch, smell and you’ll realise that is not true,” he said.
“They raid the garbage can. You know, we give each other a peck on the cheek when we say hello, they give each other a peck on the rear end.”
