Why do dogs and puppies lick your face and is it different to when they lick your hand?
Coffeemarshmallow
Dogs lick your face and skin because they like the taste of salt. They tend to lick your face because your head is usually near theirs and it is the closest thing to lick. A dog licking your face is no different than then licking your hand or any other part of your body for that matter, and it doesn't have any adverse effects for them.

Do mothers harm their new puppies?
* i would certainly hope not however I have seen dogs that get aggressive towards their pups/ dogs and have attempted to harm them ** Yes, if they are stressed, or if they haven't had good parenting themselves. Parenting, even among dogs, is learned behaviour. If a mother dog is harming the new puppies, she might easily cause their death. On the other hand, removing the puppies could cause the mother to reject them. It's very difficult to know whether to step in and take the puppies or remove the mother. Sometimes it's enough to put the mother in a separate area for a while, where she can see the puppies but not reach them physically. The best course of action when a mother dog is acting aggressively towards her puppies is to call a vet for advice on the particular situation.

Can puppies pass worms to their family and kids?
Yes they can, but it is unusual. Children should be careful and wash their hands after playing with them. Also not a good idea to let puppies and kids roll around in the dirt together as well. Teach the kids to offer a hand or arm for the puppy to kiss (lick) rather then the face.
