Bridget the 7-year-old English mastiff dog's owner had referred to her as "scary" in the post, because her breed are known for their tough demeanor. They are commonly put to use as guard dogs.

"She loves bath time and extra special attention," Bridget's owner, Brookelynn Goodlin, told Newsweek.

"She's a very sweet, affectionate snuggle bug that will sit on your lap all day if you let her."

"She's a very goofy, mellow girl, that's been the best big sister to all her foster siblings, big and small. She especially loves when we foster kittens and treats them as if they're her own, which is the cutest thing ever."

"Y'all dogs sleep after a bath? Mine gets zoomies," one user wrote.

Another user added: "That's one of the best behaved dogs I've ever seen."

"Dogs got better life then some humans," a third user shared.

How Often Should You Wash Your Dog?

It's hard to know how often you should be washing your pup, as that ultimately depends on their breed, age and coat type, but in general the hygiene and maintenance of your four-legged friends should always be prioritized.

Newsweek spoke with dog expert Sadie Cornelius to find out just how often pet dogs should be getting washed.

"It depends on several factors, including their hair length, activity level, breed, and skin conditions. At a minimum, most dogs should be bathed once every three months," Cornelius said.

"With most dogs, you can wash them as frequently as every other week with a gentle shampoo. When in doubt, use your judgment—if your dog doesn't have a limiting skin condition and starts to smell, or their coat is dirty, it's probably time for a bath," she added.
