The warm water sprayed onto Hector's back and Mike worked his hands through the dense fur, lifting and rinsing until the dog was clean. Then Hector shook, spraying water in all directions, soaking Mike's shirt and pants.
He had to laugh. It was either that or scream.
"You got it, Hector old pal. That's life, that's love, and that's the way it is. Just shake it off."
