Izzy has always had a slurp of milk every morning......it's done her no harm, if your pup enjoys it and tolerates it, then carry on

My 5 month old pup Scooby has weetabix and milk for brekkie - he's been fine having milk. He also loves a cup of tea! 
My other dogs also get a small drink of milk after their dinner.

Goats milk is preferable if you want your dog to have milk.
Many dogs tend to be lactose intolerant, lacking a lactamase enzyme, which allows the digestive system to break down the kind of sugar contained in milk.
Dogs that lack this enzyme end up with a lot of undigested sugar in their intestine, which, in turn, causes bacteria-breeding at an incredible rate.
When a lot of bacteria grows in the intestinal tract it can irritate the stomach and intestine and cause vomiting and diarrhea just like in lactose-intolerant people.
Goats milk is far better, and far easier for the dog to break down. Those who give their dogs cows milk and have no problems is because they have the necessary enzyme.
