My sister's husband is very fond of keeping dogs, he always has 2-3 dogs, he does not even hire any helper etc. to raise these dogs, he does all his work himself.
But I am very afraid of these dogs whenever I go there, because some of these dogs are very fearful and also of attacking breed. Whenever I go to meet him at his house, his tallest terrible pit bull dog comes climbing on top of me, he brings his next leg to my shoulder, then sniffs and goes back.
But those 15-20 seconds are enough to kill me, then some member of their house locks that big dog in some room. After that I get a sigh of relief and only after that I am able to sit there comfortably.
One day, when I reached his house on Sunday morning, I saw that my brother-in-law was bathing that big dog, he rubbed it well with the shampoo applied to humans and then cleaned it several times with water. Then wiped the dog with a clean towel for a long time, after which dried his hair thoroughly with an electric dryer. After drying the hair, he also put some anti-dandruff and anti-itch powder on the dog's hair. Then he came and sat beside me after washing his hands thoroughly with water.

I told him why do you do these things yourself when there are 2 maids in your house, then he told me that taking care of a dog is like raising a child. That's why I get satisfaction only when I do these things myself.
