It's a dog's wash in Japan!

The Japanese enthusiasm for state-of-the-art technology has come up with a new service for pet owners in Tokyo – a washing machine for dogs.

Bildunterschrift: 3-year-old poodle Mizuho being shampooed at "Pet World Joyful Honda". The service inside the closed machine includes a tear-free shampoo, rinse and blow dry. The course runs for 30 minutes and costs only 1,000 yen (about 11 US dollars or eight euros).
