Since dogs are everywhere and very few people get sick from them, the risks seem to be quite low.

> very few people get sick from them,

Do you have any source for this statement? If you get stomach infection (like ulcer), there is no investigation of source of bacteria. Every municipality just accepts dog poop as "part of nature". And nations that do not tolerate dogs are healthier.

Toxoplasma can be actually traced to cats, and like 60% of population are infected!

Huge part of population have stomach ulcers and other poop hygiene related diseases with "unknown sources"!

Do you have a source for your claims? That's the way round that it works

I note a total absence of sources for your claims.

Yeah, the furry bastards force people to walk every day, two times a day, train their launching skills, make people laugh, alleviate boredom and mental issues, save children from their bad ideas, and drag its owners directly to interact with other dog owners and make friends.

Social interaction, exercise, security, happiness... just the opposite to following a healthy life style.

Shigellosis is god awful. I've had it three times, from sexual contact. Let's just say I won't do anything more than a peck on the cheek unless I've witnessed the person shower first as many people's hygiene standards are disgusting

Don't eat where you shit seems to also be good advice then :D

It's hard to tell with the throwaway, but I suspect I've seen you posting on HN before, making similar claims relating to the horrors of dog ownership. This is a pretty suspect one.

I see one study claiming 1.1% of visits to Emergency Departments are dog-caused, and another estimating 14% of visits by women are due to domestic violence. These numbers, while not a perfect refutation, don't seem to align with your claim at all.
