Would'nt use air freshener on any skin human, or dog. a good dog shampoo, or two should do the trick. why punish a dog for human error, someone must of given the mutt access ???

Strap him to the roof of your van like gromit in the weir rabbit, and drive around a bit.

I know they used to throw cats and chickens into the septic tank to kick start the enzyme/baceria, but i am pretty sure they were dead before they went in

dont worry was some doggy freshner!! and was my fault for leaving lid off while waiting for tanker to back down driveway. and bloody nosey husky! who,s now sulking

dont tell RSPCA bout the jetwashing LOL

Crikey! Time to call in one of those pooch-washing people, with that two-along washroom thingy.

You might have to pay a premium for the job though!

got a quote already, missus is fed up listening to him whinging in the workshop.. lol might avoid telling them exactly what happened to him tho! fell in the pond next door sounds far better and im sure would prove cheaper...

Chuck a glass of Whisky at the dog, and it will then smell like the owner. :p :p :p

Hey thats not a bad idea grafter, dog ran into/fell in stangant pond sounds very plausible.

poor doggy,just put some rubber gloves on and give him a good soapy wash after all its your septic tank.....

my german shepard walk into a concrete pour over the top off he legs almost swimming in it, i hosed her off with the truckmixer hose, she was not best pleased but had to get crete out off her hair

have to keep a close eye on him just incase he gets sick if he swallowed any of the dirty water cant be to carefull

Pour a packet of bicarbonate of soda (available everywhere 79p) into a bucket of soapy water.
Wash dog.
Rinse with bucket of water to which a cap full of Lenor "Spring Fresh" has been added.
Will smell like a meadow!
