DOG-WASHER CLEANS PETS AND SAVES CASH

  Japanese people are famous for their inventions. Where would we be without miniature radios and hybrid cars? The latest time-saving device to come from the Land of the Rising Sun is a dog-washing machine. Dog lovers can now add a new item to their list of household goods. Scientists have made life easier for pet owners with their pooch in the machine and then 33 minutes later, out cames a clean, fresh-smelling dog. The process includes a shampoo, rinse and blow dry. Sales of the dog-washer are increasing as the craze catches on. The bad news for vets who offer pet-washing services.

  The process used in the dog-washing machine is totally safe. Tests showed that dogs enjoyed the wash and were very happy when the blow-drier came on. The manufactures say it is very safe and does not harm the dogs in any way. One dog-owner, Michiko Kobayashi, loves her new machine. She said her dog is happy too. Michiko explained to reporters why she and her Labrador Honey liked the machine: "Before I bought my washer, I only took Honey to the vets a few times a year. Sometimes she smelled and her hair became dirty. Now, I wash her every week and she looks great". She added: "Of course, the best thing for me is that my dog always looks lovely, but it's also good for my wallet. I save a lot of money by not taking Honey to the vet."
