Cassius does have flaws. (Cassius is a 90 lb. male Chesapeake Bay retriever.) One of them is an overactive salivary gland. Let's deal with the drool question head-on.
No one likes to be drooled upon. Cassius's flaw is connected to an exceptional sense of smell. Although he may not have seen one of my sons' friends for years -- if he smelled them as a puppy he never forgets. (It is possible Proust was reincarnated as my dog.)
The drool is mostly connected to the presence of food. It is worst in the car if I am sharing breakfast and he is perched behind over my right shoulder. I should wear a drool guard, or, he should wear a droop cup. I tell him: stop drooling, Cassius! Useless as trying to persuade a county commissioner to give more weight to an environmentalist than a rock miner eyeing new wetlands to dig.
With our dogs, we all have crosses to bear. Mine is drool. (Advice: don't wear black.) But after raising three children to grown men and fighting County Hall for decades you just pick yourself back up. And try not to slip.

The big question here is who is the boss?
Better to deal with a dog than the county commission any day.
