Dog later stares at owner with sad eyes and howls in sheer

Bathing can be an unpleasant experience for any animal, but this pooch appears to dislike having a quick dip more than the average pet.

According to the dog's owners, Steel the husky throws a fit even before bath time begins.

And judging by this video, things do not get much easier for anyone involved once the pooch is lifted inside the tub.

The pooch begins howling in annoyance as his owner stands alongside him and brushes his long coat

Captured on camera in California, America, the unhappy husky sits in the bath looking at the floor as if considering jumping out.

The three-year-old pooch immediately begins howling in annoyance as his owner stands alongside him and brushes his long coat.

The video maker asks the dog what he is saying as Steel looks directly at the camera with worried eyes and continues to cry.

Rather humorously the pooch open and closes his mouth while whining and appears to be making a genuine attempt to articulate his thoughts.

Meanwhile another dog – clearly put off by the sounds coming from Steel – vocalises its concern about being next in the queue to have a wash.

After much relentless crying from the dog, the man eventually finishes brushing his coat and begins picking the fluff from the bristles.

The unpleasant ordeal appears to be over for the dog, who still continues to look around in a worried manner, and he is presumably lifted from the bath after the video maker finishes recording.
