How many of those hits are pathogens that aren't already going to be passed to you from your dog just by contact, or can't be passed from human to human already? Or are worse than what you can already get from normal dishes that aren't cleaned sufficiently?
That's my point. You're probably at no greater risk than from your own dirty dishes.
