Autoimmune diseases run in my mom's family.
I grew up in a filthy house. My mother was a hoarder and had her junk take up an entire bedroom. I was unable to have my own room because of this, and had to share a room with my sister. No central air, inadequate window units, horrible heat and humidity, and a very large collie dog (rough collie) and I had a runny nose my entire childhood.
Dog looked approximately like this--they were bred with Russian wolfhounds at the turn of the 20th century:
Nobody noticed except to yell at me to go blow my nose in the bathroom at school.
I still have allergic asthma and inhalant allergies like dog hair and cat hair. I also have some pretty serious food allergies--nightshade family(tomatoes), shellfish, bell peppers. Your hypothesis does not work in my case.
Cats do that!
And you know this how? 
BTW this is not a mama dog.
they're going to eat the baby, right?
Nothing like stirring the shit eh? 
the doofier you look.
Hey, nothing personal, just a public safety announcement (PSA) from your pal, Blanche. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on a stubborn point. They're dangerous.
oh, and watch out for those dangly bits........
Tsk tsk. Someone should pass a law and protect this guy!
One of these could get sucked down your windpipe;
And it could sting you, and your trachea could swell shut, and you could die!
...But the odds are so small that it's really not worth wasting your time worrying about it.
Same with this kid. You want to worry about him asphyxiating? Don't worry about him getting cuddled by three puppies for a photo. Worry about the gerber being sluiced into his face three times a day, daily.
I can't believe there are people who are taking you seriously on this post. 
But then I have a dark twisted sense of humor alsoRec'd! I have to admit, the negativity illustrated in some of the responses to this thread took me by surprise. Man, some people are just plain dark.
Given the photographer was standing over the scene, what scenario could you imagine taking place that would put any of the subjects in danger? 
What IF those pups wake up hungry for baby meat?
What IF that baby wakes up hungry for puppy meat?
What IF the photographer's camera explodes and kills them all?
...and I fail to see anything unsafe in the picture. If you knew who the photographer/parent was, what do you think the reaction from CPS would be upon their viewing of it?
If the 3 dogs were Irish Wolfhounds, you might have a point (in regards to smothering), but I just cannot imagine a scenario in which the three little bulldogs in the picture could harm the baby.
Not a scratch or bite or smother among them. Just grief when they passed, soon replaced with another happy face.
I am sorry you feel this way, but I will still consider you a friend.
Kids need to bang heads and knees and fall and get hurt. It's a necessary part of growing up.
The safest environment possible would be the boy in the plastic bubble.
I did think of you though when I saw this monster trying to smother this child to death.
I think the assassin missed and then got sleepy so... I dunno..
That was funny. You're right a out bubble boy. I guess that we can get into the definition of possible, but I generally agree. Bumps and scratches are important too. To me this looks like its too much if it wasn't supervised and staged. There's just so many dumb people out there that I have to wonder.
And this is NOT hygienic at all.
Think of the bees stinging her or him!
Crap, what if someone didn't pay attention and cooked one of these pumpkins!!!
Not safe at all!
It's obvious that some here on DU are creeped out by dogs.
That's too bad, because they are the best friends I have ever known. Others agree.
"sleeping dogs smother baby" and you get nada.

Imagine how they'd be reacting if they were Pit Bull puppies.

"I have a yard, I must have a dog ... no, two dogs ... maybe three. "
Nope. I have a BED, I must have a dog...no,two dogs...maybe three.
That dude caught enough shit, when he was alive.
Such sweeties. 
Putting two dogs of different breeds and from different backgrounds together in a confined space will usually end up in a lot of bark and likely some bite. Rarely does that pairing end up in the two pooches becoming an inseparable pair.
That latter, more unlikely scenario was just the case, however, with two young dogs in Oklahoma who not only built a friendship but also cured each other’s ills.
Blair is a 1-year-old black Labrador mix brought to the Woodland West Animal Hospital in Tulsa, Okla., after she was shot while living on the streets. After he recovered from his wounds, Blair remained at the clinic, a timid and nervous pup whose difficult history made her hard to place with an adopted family, the hospital’s director, Dr. Mike Jones, told ABCNews.com.
Then there was Tanner, a two-year-old Golden Retriever puppy who was born blind and with a seizure disorder so severe he was sent to Woodland Hospital as a last resort after his first owner died and the Oklahoma City-based Sooner Golden Retriever Rescue organization that had assumed his care, was unable to find a family to give him the around-the-clock care he needed.
“His seizure disorder was really, really bad and nothing — no medications — seemed to be helping,” Jones said. “Anytime he [Tanner] seizes he expresses his bowels. It’s a nightmare anytime you have a 90-lb dog experiencing this nightly; it made living in a home very, very difficult.”
Tanner and Blair lived with their respective conditions until the two were placed together a few months ago in a chance encounter, first reported by local ABC affiliate KTUL.
“One day they were exercising in a play yard together and they got together, Jones said. “Blair all of a sudden seemed to realize that Tanner was blind and just started to help him around.”
Recognizing the dogs’ immediate connection, hospital staff began to board Tanner and Blair together, and the results spoke for themselves.
Tanner had been seizing almost nightly, Jones said. ”After two or three weeks, we realized Tanner wasn’t seizing anymore. He’s not completely seizure free but it’s not constant anymore.”
“We’ve worked with a lot of different service dogs to provide these services for people,” said Jones. “But it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this, the special relationship these two dogs have.”
