I would say no, because most bacteria is specialized, but it doesn't hurt to be clean and careful. But make sure to wash your hands, etc. And I wouldn't kiss him on the lips until the infection clears...LOL.

no, because a dog can't tranfer germs to humans and humans can't transfer germs to dogs. ask your local vet for help if needed!
