Not only dogs. My motgher told me she slept with a shirt of my father's after he left for WWII. I don't blame her a bit!! Comforting smell of home! And I used to snuggle with Max, my mother's dachsund! She said it made me smell like dog. And I was very aware of the dog smell. Smelled just fine to me!
