Dogs lick humans a lot for multiple reasons. One, they like the taste of the salt on your skin. And, two, they almost always get attention when they lick you, and it is usually good because people think they are being cute.

Which dogs lick you?
All dogs lick humans, unless trained otherwise. Many people believe that dogs lick humans because they enjoy the taste of a human's salty skin. Others believe that a dog licking a human is simply the dog showing affection (doggy kisses) to the human. In a wolf pack, a puppy licks the mother's mouth to stimulate the mother to regurgitate food from the hunt. Dogs who compulsively lick their humans may be suffering from anxiety. There are a great many reasons why a particular dog may be anxious, so check out a dog training/behavior website (I like Cesar Milan the best) to learn more about dog licking behavior and how to reduce it.

Is it clean for a dog to lick your face?
I found this is a recent magazine:Since dogs can transmit disease to humans, does that mean we are wise to avoid all contact with them? No, not any more than it would be wise to avoid all association with humans because they also are capable of transmitting disease. The point is, we should be aware that dogs can be a source of infection. And even though dogs may be friendly, that does not necessarily make them safe.So the proper thing to do is exercise reasonable caution when around a dog. It would not be wise to pet just any dog that happens along or let it lick you, even if it is friendly. The dog may be sick with a communicable disease. Or it may have been sniffing at or licking the hind end of a contaminated dog. Perhaps it has just finished rolling in dirt which contains disease-carrying organisms. And even if you do know the dog well, allowing it to lick your face, eat from your plate or eliminate wastes where people are likely to come in contact with them is not a clean practice.
