You decide to try and wash off what you can with the rest of your water! You beckon the shepherd closer towards you before opening the bottle again and running the water over their fur. Some of the soot comes off really easily, while the thicker clumps take a bit of scrubbing. Throughout the entire thing the shepherd stands calmly and let's you run your hands through their thick fur. When you run out of water and they shake themselves off, it's revealed that they're a German shepherd with a mainly black colored coat and lighter points.

While you don't have much luck at first, when you look straight ahead once again a curious head stares at you from behind a pole.
