Japanese people are famous for their inventions.The latest time-saving invention is a dog-washing machine.Dog owners can buy one for their dogs.They can save time by putting their dogs in the machine and then 33minutes later,out comes a clean,fresh-smelling dog.
The washing includes a shampoo (洗發(fā)),rinse (沖洗) and blow-dry.Sales of the dog-washer are increasing.The machines save a lot of money for pet owners in cleaning bills.However,it is bad news for pet hospitals because they are losing customers to the new dog washing machine.

One dog-owner,Michiko Kobayashi,loves her new machine.She said her dog was happy,too.Michiko explained to reporters,"Before I bought my washer,I only took Honey to the pet hospital a few times a year.Now,I wash her every week and she looks great.I also save a lot of money."
