Chania could be sneezing for many reasons: https://www.petcoach.co/article/sneezing-nasal-discharge-in-dogs-puppies/ At this time, there is no known transmission of cold viruses between people and pets. It could be coincidental or it could be related to indoor allergies or air quality (since both of you are sneezing). If she sneezes beyond a week or if you start to notice it's getting worse, I recommend to have her examined.
