Dog Names that Start with Ep

Epic's life started off pretty rough and while the details are not clear on his origin, he needed to be rescued from his troubled life. Epic was rescued by the Detroit Dog Rescue (the DDR) and he was not a pretty sight. Epic had deep cuts in his neck from wearing a collar that was too small as well as lots of scar tissue on his neck. He also had other painful wounds on his body and was frightened by the littlest motions.

One thing that was especially scary to Epic was bath time. Now, bath time can be scary for any dog but that normal fear paired with the pain of the water on Epics wounds made him terrified of taking a bath. However, the DDR aims to calm and comfort dog in every situation and they also believe that cleaning the pups regularly will keep them healthy and help them heal. 

In order to curb Epic's fear and help the pup get clean with the least amount of anxiety as possible, the rescue group came up with a perfect solution - peanut butter! The staff smears peanut butter all over the wall of the shower where Epic can lick it off the wall as he is getting cleaned. Rather than focus on the fact that he is getting cleaned and wet (and occasionally feeling the sting of soap on his wounds), Epic just licks the peanut butter over and over, without a care in the world! 

Epic loves peanut butter bath time so much and after seeing how well this trick worked with this pup, the shelter started using "peanut butter bath time" on all the anxious dogs. While it is a shame that Epic had such a troubled past, the invention of the peanut butter baths will help comfort many other scared dogs when bath time comes around! Talk about an epic solution!
