It depends. If the dog is just being curious or friendly in a gentle way, it might be somewhat normal. However, it's important to ensure the safety of the cat. Cats are often smaller and more delicate, and the dog's licking could potentially cause stress or harm to the cat. So, it's advisable to supervise their interactions closely.
Ethically, it's a huge no - no. We are supposed to be the stewards of the animal kingdom, not engage in inappropriate and immoral behavior with them. Such actions are against the values of respect and protection that should be afforded to all living beings. It also reflects very poorly on the person involved in terms of their moral compass and respect for life.
One horror story could be a dog licking an open wound on a person and the dog having a disease that then gets transmitted to the person. For example, if the dog has rabies and licks a fresh cut, it can be extremely dangerous for the person. Rabies can cause serious neurological problems and can even be fatal if not treated immediately.
We should avoid them because they are inappropriate. Dogs are living beings that deserve our respect. Their natural behaviors should be left in the realm of scientific study when appropriate, not turned into vulgar stories.
There should not be any sexual stories related to dogs in an appropriate context. Animals' sexual behavior is a natural part of their biology but should not be made into improper'stories'. We should respect animals and focus on positive aspects of our relationship with them, such as their loyalty and companionship.
You should immediately stop the situation if it's happening at that moment. After that, educate your wife about the possible diseases that can be transmitted through such contact. It could be something like salmonella or other infections. Also, make sure the dog has regular vet check - ups to ensure it's healthy and clean.
First of all, this is an illegal and immoral act. The authorities should be informed immediately. The person should be arrested and face legal consequences. And the poor dog should be taken to a vet for a full check - up to ensure its well - being.
