Yeah, when I had a dog (RIP Madison) he got skunked at least three times in his life and didn't learn is lesson.
No matter what they say or advertise, nothing truly de-skunks the smell. Tomato juice, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, seltzer water, those enzyme shampoos... I never found one that really worked.
On a non skunky story... one night I let my dog out for pee and poop before shutting down for the night. We didn't have a fence or typically wouldn't put him on a leash. He knew his yard and stayed in it.
Anyway, he beelines to the treeline (frank... hope its just a squirrel and not a skunk). He was sniffing around the base of a tree then staring up into the tree. I called, he didn't pay attention... looked at me, looked up into the tree... looked at me... looked into the tree.
So walk down to the get him.. I look up into the tree. Maybe 20 ft up I see two glowing eyes staring back at us... A chill went down my spine. He treed a large fisher cat.
Franking A! Grab him by the collar and scoot him back to the deck. Dude... don't ever do that again... that thing can frank you up.
