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 (洗发),rinse (冲洗) 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!
