Here’s the gold-star checklist: Dogs do not catch human colds. You cannot give them your snot. Their immune systems are like little superhero fortresses built for different enemies. So curl up, watch a bad movie, and let your dog be your hot-water-bottle-on-legs.
They won’t catch your cold. They’ll only catch your love—and maybe a few crumbs from your soup crackers. That’s the real exchange.
