Sicker Than A Dog?

As my dog ran inside eating something not intended for dog consumption, I said, “drop it!  You’ll be sicker than a…..a…..a dog?”  I quickly changed it to sicker than a human.  Generally speaking, I believe dogs are much healthier than their humans.  Considering the amazing food they have for dogs and that the requirements for food-quality are higher than on human food, dogs aren’t what I think of when someone is sick.
