Re: Why dogs lick people Charlie is a licker - of everyone, and of every exposed bit of skin he can reach, but he specialises in ears. He does it as a greeting; he is excited and licking people often makes them squeal ; because he wants a walk/dinner/attention; softly as a form of mutual grooming; because you are wearing tasty face/hand/foot cream...any excuse, really. ;D ;D ;D

Re: Why dogs lick people Scott licks everything. :. Scout not so much. Scott even helps me dry scout and if someone like my auntie is visiting who doesn't particularly like to be licked Scott will do a drive by lick on his way passed her. He always manages it somehow. :
