A heartwarming video of a woman gently brushing her daughter's long, black hair recently went viral on YouTube. The video shows a sweet, tender moment between a mother and child as the daughter patiently lets her mother do her hair and even tries to brush her mother's hair in return. However, viewers were shocked when the "daughter" turned around, revealing that she was actually an Afghan Hound.
The dog's owner explained that her Afghan Hound has fur similar to human hair, and with proper grooming, it can look just as beautiful and well-maintained as a human's hair. The video has garnered over ten thousand views, with many users commenting on the dog's well-kept coat. Some wrote, "I was scared, where did this dog-human come from?" and "A heartwarming video instantly turns into a horror film."
Afghan Hounds are known for their elegant appearance and long, flowing coats that require regular grooming. The breed's coat has a fine texture, more similar to human hair than other dogs, which requires extra care to maintain its shine and texture.
Grooming an Afghan Hound
Here are some tips for grooming an Afghan Hound:
- Brush the dog's coat every day with a pin brush and a slicker brush to remove any mats or dead hair.
- Make sure the coat is wet when brushing to avoid damaging the silky hair.
- Bathe the dog at least once a month to maintain the shine and texture of the coat.
- Consider using a snood to keep the dog's ears out of food and water.
- Use a suitable brush and comb to prevent the coat from drying out or becoming matted.
Regular grooming is a commitment, but it is a requirement for owning an Afghan Hound. If you are not able to groom your dog yourself, there are many professional dog grooming services available.
