Pet hair will probably never even reach your lungs. Your respiratory system filters out any large particles before they reach the lungs. That's why your lungs aren't filled with dust and fluid particles right now. The worst that could happen is that it might get to your trachea and give you a nasty cough for a minute or two as your body tries to expel it.

If you do happen to breathe in deeply with your face in a pile of hair though, which I'm sure you don't do every day, and one of them does reach the lungs, it would definitely not be stuck there for long: it would be broken up by your body and it would eventually dissolve.

So basically there's nothing to worry about. The only way pet hair can harm you is if you're allergic to it.
