I know dog scabies also known as canine scabies can be spread to human but dies couple of days since they can't live in human skin. I was confused if human scabies can be spread to dogs. I been getting lots of answer mostly "yes" human to dogs. So i don't know

Scabies are highly contagious. I heard that dogs can get scabies too. So i was worried i gave my dog scabies. Since my dogs loves to sleep on my bed. But you said Human scabies can not be spread to dogs right? So i shouldn't worried about it.
