If you're concerned about your daughter contracting Parvo, you can relax.

People cannot get animal parvo http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/respiratory/B19&preg.htm

However, people can get human parvovirus (Fifth Disease/HPV B19) http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/respiratory/parvo_b19.htm which is a virus exclusive to humans and has nothing to do with dogs.

I hope this helps put you at ease.

Many have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it.

You remain responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
