I gave a junk yard dog a bath today!

Hi all, I gave the local junk yard dog a bath. He lives at a salvage yard, about a mile from where I live. He showed up on my front step this afternoon wanting a snack. I brought him in, gave him a snack then a bath. He was filthy. First I used Dawn Blue dishsoap, then an oatmeal dog shampoo for his skin. Then I set him in a drying cage with a heated blower on him. He love that part... it is nice and warm. Then I brushed him, and not having any blue ribbon, put a large pink ribbon around his neck. While I was washing and drying him, I put his filthy collar in the washing machine and washed it. When both dog and collar were dry, I took him back to the salvage yard. No one there believed that I could wash him, that I am still alive, and that the dog was actually clean. They told me that they would bring him to me every month for a bath and pay me to bathe him. Nothing like a clean, pampered Junkyard dog. Joe

Were you able to take before and after pictures? What kind of dog is he? Such a sweet act of kindness on your part.

He looks like a part lab part big brown dog. He did not like his toe nails being trimmed but afterward was quite happy.

@Kotobuki I've never known a dog that liked having his nails trimmed. lol. Our dogs act like we're trying to murder them when we go for the toenails.

That is so good of you. We are judged by the kindness we do to others who cannot do anything for us.
