Hey buddy!

Someone in the back?
Here.
Got it.

This video is silent. Dr. Charlie and Sean use long pieces of gauze to create extended straps and gently use them to slip a muzzle onto a frightened dog before performing an intake exam on him. By the time they are through, the dog is calm and ready to make friends.
