Question

In Japan, 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，a clean，fresh-smelling dog comes out．

The machine becomes more and more popular. The sales of the dog-washer are increasing. The machines save a lot of money for pet owners．However，it's bad news for pet hospitals because they are losing many customers．

The washing machine has many advantages. First, the whole cleaning process includes a shampoo （洗發(fā)），rinse （沖洗） and blow-dry．Second, tests showed that dogs enjoyed the wash and were very happy when the blow-dryer started working．Third, the most important is that the makers of the machine say it's very safe and does not harm dogs in any way．

One dog-owner，Michiko Kobayashi，loves her new machine．She said her dog was happy, too．Michiko explained to the reporters，"Before I bought my washer，I only took my dog 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．"

It is welcomed by most people who raise dogs. And it takes over the market quickly. What a beautiful invention!
