you're more likely to get a serious illness from kissing a person than kissing a dog

if you're in the habit of kissing a dog like you would a person - you're already have a serious illness

Is this before or after he has licked his balls?

However, unlike the one about the <A href="http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/a/the_hook.htm">psycho killer with the hook</A>, this story has a grain of truth. Although the mouth of a typical dog is full of bacteria, it's "species specific." So, if a dog were to lick a person, most of the germs wouldn't transfer.
