Go to Petco or Petsmart and buy Nature's Miracle, 3 of the biggest jugs they have of it. White Jug with Red Print.
Go to HD or Lowes and buy a box of 55 gallon drum liners and rent a rug doctor with upholstery attachments and upholstery soap.
Go home and park in the shade.

Unbolt the seats from the cab and pull them out. Douse the seats until they are soaking wet with Nature's Miracle and place each chair in a 55 gallon drum liner. Put them in the shade so the NM doesn't evaporate too quickly. With any remaining NM get wherever in the cab the dog may have touched. Close the doors and keep them closed. Go to bed.

The Next day, bust out the rug doctor, use the upholstery soap and the hottest water you can get from the tap and scrub the **** outta everything. Then scrub it again with CLEAN WATER. Go over every piece again with CLEAN WATER.

The Nature's Miracle enzymes will neutralize the smell. The soap will break up the sticky skunk funk, and the clean water will pull the soap and the skunk funk out of the fabric.

The water at the end is an absolutely critical step, leave any soap and the funk will stay and collect dirt to it later. That's the reason that foaming based cleaners seem to make the carpet dirtier weeks after you use it.

That'll get it done...although the emzymes don't actually neutralize the smell, they eat it up. Keeping it wet long enough for the emzymes to work (overnight) is a crucial step.

Btw, its not all the dogs fault. He was just doing what all meat eating animals do...hunting. Even Wolves and coyotes have to learn about skunks the hard way. He's probably learned his lesson.

Dogs do the damndest things. My dog has a habbit of finding dead animals and rolling in them.

The psychology is interesting too. One minute it's ripping the head off of whatever rabbit or groundhog it's managed to corner, then maybe moments later it wants a hug, or it wants it's belly rubbed. Then it wants to jump on your bed snuggle in for the night. All while managing to be totally lovable.

People could not pull this off. If a person liked to kill poeple and roll in their dead bodies one minute, and then was totally calm and docile the next then that person would skip right past prison right into the looney bin

should have just let the dog stew in his own stink for a while and avoid him like the plague till the smell subsided enough to stand being close enough to shave him bald.

Why don't you just stop before the hole gets to deep to climb out of...

Haha you have a point, except for the fact that mine likes to find a huge fresh pile of cow chit to roll in, and then she wants in your lap.
