I've been working with dogs for over a year and it's common for them to sneeze and drool all over your face (any dog owner knows this). But I have yet to catch a cold from them.

It's possible that them sniffing around outside and put their nose where it shouldn't be, they picked up the virus or bacteria and it was in his nose, so when he sneezed it ended up on you.
