  1. So now I’m going to have to go pay for and sit through a sappy movie I don’t care to see because of these fools calling for a boycott.

  2. The SJW complainers can’t hear anything over the sound of their own outrage.
    My GSP routinely plunges into frigid rivers without hesitation. In fact it can be a challenge to keep him OUT of the water. Try to bathe him though? Fugettaboutit! Go figure. He’s very gentle (though excitable) so eventually he submits, but he makes it clear that he doesn’t like it. Dogs are funny that way.

  3. It’s like herding cats to get my dog in the walk-in shower but he loves to plunge into the lake. Whoever edited the tape and those who are outraged need to understand dogs.

  4. I confess ! I have RESTRAINED my dog from shaking-off IN the house after bathing her in the bathtub. Yes, I forcibly wrapped a towel around her, as I led her out of the house. Yes … I chose my furniture and cabinets OVER my dogs instinctive water-shedding actions. I am a monster. I now realize that … and am ready to go tell my story on the Ellen show … to suffer her righteous leftist OUTRAGE !

  5. Well now, Ol’ Jerome, my genuine, purebred, Greater Glengarry Moosehound, has never seen a bathtub or a swimmin’ pool. No Sir. And I figure he’d put up one hell of a fuss with anyone who tried to shove him into one. Be like tryin’ to give an enema to a wildcat without yer gloves on. But I tell ya one thing, he just loves to wallow in the little creek behind the house.
    Now it likely ain’t got much to do with Ol’ Jerome’s concern for hygiene or nothin’ like that. Nope. But I think I got it figured out. In the winter the deer use that snow covered creek as a highway, and there’s a trail of deer turds a couple of inches thick on the ice. Then in the spring when the ice melts, all the deer crap settles to the bottom and the water has this distinct aroma. And that’s what I figure ‘tracts Ol’ Jerome. Must have kind of a bitch-in-heat smell to it.
    So if yer havin’ trouble getting poochie into the tub, just send me twenty bucks (plus $4.95 shippin’ and handlin’) and I’ll send you off a scoop or two of Uncle Bucky’s Pooch Lure. Just drop half a dozen of these hundred percent organic pellets in Rover’s bath, and yer struggling and wrasslin days will be over!

  6. My Golden was the same way. Freezing cold lake water, mud, swamp or marsh, I couldn’t stop her from going in. But warm, clean bathwater? You’d think I was drying to dip her in acid.

  7. My old hound used to fight me tooth and claw to prevent any hint of a bath. Finally gave up and took my 125 pound Akita to the groomers. Beat it out there expecting an explosion and at the very least a phone call to get him out of Dodge.
    Well that didn’t happen and as I returned at the appointed hour there was my buddy all prettied up. He was pretty much smiling and very full of himself. Asked the groomer how that happened and she just smiled. From that day forward whenever I took him in his tail was wagging and he was straining on the leash to get in.

  8. I have a beagle mix, and whatever he’s mixed with, it hates water. Either that or its a Gremlin.
    He’s getting better swimming in the lake after sticks and balls, but this is a dog that walks AROUND puddles. On the sidewalk.
    Needless to say, PETA is welcome to come over and tape me trying to give him a bath – he rolled in a dead fish awhile ago and I still have the scratches. Where’s my “protection”?

  9. They used a German Shepard. Mistake! Should have got a Golden or a Lab. My Golden would have jumped in there just for the hell of it. The big problem would be getting him out.
    If the producers had any stones they’d have said “Tough S—!” and carried on as normal. It is the new Trump era, the only people still listening to the Lefty Grievance Industry are other members of it. The rest of us don’t care.

  10. My Scottie is the same – until he realizes that lovely young women are going to fondle him – then he’s on board!

  11. When we had a house dog we could not even spell the word b-a-t-h and she would go and hide, always in the same place of course. Who knew a dog could spell? But once in the tub would sit quietly with a sad face. After her bath and a drying off she would run around the house and shake herself for a few minutes.

  12. They should have taken a Flat Coated Retriever. Every Flatie I had was always convinced that a bathtub is just like a little lake and since humans go in, Flaties too deserve their turn. It always took a while to convince them that adult humans can take a shower without a mandatory black nose peeking in from under the curtain. As for kids? Forget it. “Why is there a wet dog in your bed again?” , “Ops I forgot to close the bathroom door daddy”.

  13. My dog didn’t take long to realize that rolling in something dirty or stinky resulted in a bath. He likes living in the house and seems to understand that staying clean is part of that privilege. He also gets good quality food, which goes a long way to reducing unpleasant dog smells.

  14. Dogs like to smell like dogs, bit of the hunting instinct still in most of them, and smelling like poodle does not help when hunting. My old spaniel would roll on the ground and rub herself through the grass before she went off to hunt whatever she had decided would be fun to catch.

  15. When i wanted to give my 120 lb Akita, Toto Oki Hoser San, a bath, i would hold out a slice of bread and lead him in. Always reluctant, he complied because his favorite thing was to get bread.
