This hairdresser swapped humans for dogs

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) OWNER OF DOG GROOMING SPA, JEJE JOULY TOUK, SAYING:"I am Jeje from Acre, owner and manager of Spa B-rex, offering treatments for dogs, grooming, care, and beauty and everything that dogs need."

Location: Acre, Israel

With salons closed for much of the past year

Jeje Jouly Touk decided to set up a new business

combining her hairdressing skills with her passion for dogs

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) OWNER OF DOG GROOMING SPA, JEJE JOULY TOUK, SAYING:

'We offer first aid treatments, masks, fur treatment, skin treatment, trimming, cleaning, nail trimming, ear cleaning, we also have treats for dogs, and even special food for

hyperactive dogs."

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) AFIFEH, A VOLUNTEER FOR DOG PROTECTION, SAYING:

"It is such a nice idea, and very much needed here. Also, people do not have the awareness that dogs need treatment in their skin and fur and especially in areas we can call beauty -

related, therefore it's a really nice idea and we are proud that a young woman has decided to work in this field.''
