I am back in Beirut, after a wonderful holiday, and congratulate my housekeeper on the fact that both our dogs are so beautifully white. I’ve had one of them for some 15 years, and he hasn’t been so white since he was a puppy. I’ve tried all kinds of dog shampoos, and even Baby Johnson shampoo, but to no avail.
