Yes

Would you rather be bitten by a dog or by a human? Well, neither of course, but if you had to choose, which would it be? According to a widespread notion, a dog bite is the better choice since a canine mouth is cleaner than a human mouth.

Harmful dog germs are usually harmless for humans, unless we're talking about rabies, a disease that affects dogs and people in equally damaging ways. But generally, humans are immune to most dog germs. Likewise, human germs probably won't harm a dog. But human germs can harm humans, of course. So a bite from a human mouth full of harmful bacteria may very well be more damaging than a dog bite, even if the dog's mouth is full of harmful dog germs.

By the way showstop, whoever said a dogs butt wasn't clean?

A dog's mouth contains bacteria just like a human's. They just have different species of bacteria, and fewer types. So you could say so based on that.

But dog saliva can pass on bacteria just like a human's.

a dogs mouth is loaded with tons of bacteria. they don't brush their teeth, they eat gross things and they lick themselves. They have defense mechanisms to protect themselves from this. Severe dog bites become infected. Humans also have bacteria in their mouths.
