Danda is soooo sweet and adorable, she loves being showered with love and affection. She also loves to lick her human companions.

Puppy/dog saliva should be washed off after playing with your dog.

Never let your dog lick your wounds because that's a pathway for virus or rabies infection.


Don't kiss your dog on the lips. They smell/lick their genitals and they smell/kiss other dog’s butt.

Dog rabies is transmitted through their saliva. Keep your dogs' anti-rabies vaccine updated ever year. Keep your pets away from stray dogs and dirty places/water.

If you get bitten by your pup/dog, wash your wound immediately. If your dog is rabies-free, then, you won't need anti-rabies shots. But, you might need an anti-tetanus shot. Take your dog to the vet for observation to make sure they're rabies-free. Be careful not to step on your dog, and don't play too rough with your dog or you could get accidentally bitten.

Dogs infected with rabies die within weeks. These dogs are aggressive and they act stranger than usual. If a dog intentionally and viciously bites without reason, that dog is probably infected with rabies.
