actually if you got a dog to lick the burn you would be better off.
dogs have more natural disinfectant in their saliva than humans.
human mouths also contain more bacteria than most other mammmals so
that licking the burned area may actually increase chance of infection.
the burn would have to be > 1st degree for this to occur though.
