It's so fantastic to see a person be able to break the cycle of poverty & addiction such as what he grew up around as a kid. Very happy this man was able to bring his vision for his business to life. I can say 150K a year is a fairly humble salary he pays himself with him living in San Diego. It's a very expensive part of Cali to live in but so beautiful. Smart not being too far from people that are wealthy enough to afford the more expensive grooming.He'll really be bringing in more $ if he opens that 2nd location. It's where the $$$ is at.

Videos like these never specify upfront if the 1.3 million is the revenue or net income. You have to watch the whole video to know. So his dog grooming business brought in a total revenue of 1.3 million dollar of which he has to pay taxes, rent, workers, products he uses etc etc. His actual income is a salary of 150k which he paid himself. The rest like mentioned before goes back into the business and to paying taxes, rent, workers, products etc.

@CutePuppy520 Жыл бұрын
It’s revenue... 1.3 million in revenue is actually a huge sum for a dog grooming saloon The money he has taken out from all the business is 150k, but, that doesn’t mean the saloon only has a net profit of 150k, business owners who are looking to grow their business will always leave maybe half of the profit to be kept within the business
@GD-8 Жыл бұрын
I mean, it's simple logic. Let's say 1.3 million was indeed net income, then there must be the bigger number of total revenue, say, $4.6 million. So why not just title the video with "4.6 million" to attract more viewers? Because 1.3 million is already the highest number they could use for the title, which is total revenue.

He’s really a great artist for this kind of work. The lion doodle, giraffe, leopard pug, all are fabulous, and he’s very gentle. The dogs love him, he’s a sweetheart. If the owners do this one time for a special occasion, even though I would never do that to my dog, I can see it, just once. But no one should be subjecting their pets to this kind of “grooming” on a regular basis. That would be a form of abuse.

@@TheNomad8899 The only reason someone would want this done to their dog is so that they can get likes on social media and have people pay them attention. It's a sad sign of the times where people will use their pets for attention and treat them as if they're fashion accessories rather than animals who deserve more respect than this. The guy also says he wants to have his own TV show. Clearly, he has found what he believes will be his route to stardom. What saddens me more than anything is the justification and casual acceptance that this is seen as so normal to so many people.

Such a wonderful story. A boy from a poor family who can't see any future takes a tiny opportunity and turns it into a fantastic dream. Is making himself and many people and pets happy. I think the dogs that stand still and allow him to clip and paint them are enjoying all the attention they are getting. If a dog were too upset to go along with this I'm sure they could not force it. The pet has to have patience and enjoy it too. There is someone that paints cats, too Great job. Gabriel and thanks for the video.
