I am not one for"grooming" a dog in the manner in which they are doing on this show. I may have missed it, but where do the dogs come from and where do they go after the show? All of the dog's being groomed seem overly calm, as if medicated. I hope this is not so. The people dressed in dog costumes was rather creepy, as was the sexual innuendo chatter between the show's host and the contestants. I can't imagine the dogs feeling comfortable going home or wherever they came from heavily painted up, with feathers, glitter, costume jewelry, and sequins. If these dogs have no forever home, I hope every effort is made to get them adopted. I'd like to have seen money being generated from the show to be given to needy animal rescue organizations instead of giving the groomers $100,000 dollars. My heart goes out to the dogs being treated like guinea pigs, purely for human monetary gain. So much more could have been done to focus on the dogs' welfare and the strong bond between humans and canines, and the many ways dogs contribute to making this world a better place for us because they give their all for their human, with unconditional love. And because of that, what is being done to the dogs on this show is denegrating and hard to watch or give validation to.
