The Earth was flat for many years. The term "cold" is still lingering in our civilization but means nothing, i.e., "I don't know what it is." Most respiratory problems, in opposition to common belief (such as the Earth is flat) are caused by inhallation of toxic substances such as ammonia (Windex), perfumes, x-mas trees, etc. If its an infection, such as a virus or bacterial, a fever will develope. (A dog's temperature is 101 on average not 98.6) Dogs can also get foreign material in their airways such as bones, hair-ball etc. If the problem persists make sure you see a vet.

Signs of kennel cough?
Kennel cough is perhaps the closest canine equivalent to the common cold. It's rarely life-threatening, but it sure can be uncomfortable for your dog. Fortunately, an annual vaccination can protect your dog from kennel cough. If you plan to board your dog, enter him into competition, or let him spend lots of time around other dogs, get him vaccinated. At many shows and kennels, in fact, it's required. Aside from the hacking cough, your dog will appear generally healthy, with a good appetite. He'll simply suffer through it.http://dogtime.com/kennel-cough.html

There are very few illnesses which can be transmitted from canine to human - unless your dog has rabies. But just to be safe, it's best to not let the dog lick your face, and wash your hands after petting him or her.
