'I make $1.3m-a-year transforming pooches into foxes, giraffes and cheetahs'
Gabriel Feitosa, 31, started his dog grooming venture on the streets of Sae Paulo, Brazil, when he was 12 years old - washing and trimming. He found the job "amazing" and started volunteering at a dog groomer's after school.

00:00 It's tiger time!
00:01 This is my client from LA called Benito or Benito!
00:04 I don't know why but I feel like his name reminds me of a soccer player.
00:07 Is there a soccer player called Benito?
00:08 I just felt like I had to scream his name the whole time like Benito!
00:11 He's definitely embodying the soccer player vibe
00:13 because he already had fans even before I finished the haircut.
00:15 Benito almost became a giraffe and the owner changed her mind
00:18 and went with a tiger instead and I think it was a great choice.
00:21 And here I am using Benito to make my dog jealous.
00:24 She was so jealous but it's okay I'll take her to the park later she'll forgive me.
00:27 And now my favorite part is seeing the owner's reaction.
00:29 [Benito screaming]
00:38 Ah I love this part!
00:39 If there's no screaming, squealing or tears of joy I'm not satisfied.
00:43 And Benito told me that he's not a soccer player but he is actually quite a dancer.
00:48 [Benito singing]
00:53 As you've seen with your own eyes Benito is a professional bachata dancer.
00:56 He requests his payments to perform in treats.
01:00 We're changing the world one pink tiger at a time.
01:02 This is Bibi and the owner wanted something feminine so we went with a pink tiger design.
01:07 And we're using the hydro shampoo to make sure she doesn't smell like tiger urine.
01:10 For the people that are surprised of how good these puppies are on the table
01:13 it's important to groom them as early as you can so they learn to enjoy the grooming process.
01:18 Not every time the dog comes to the grooming has to be stressful.
01:21 Now I love how Bibi turned out.
01:22 I think her haircut looks super fashionable and she looks super super cute.
01:26 I'm gonna miss this girl.
01:27 Can't wait to see you next time Bibi.
01:29 But have you seen a cactus dog?
01:32 This is Maggie and while I was walking around grabbing coffee I got inspired by a cactus flower.
01:36 Logan wanted to help me make my idea come true but Mikey said that green was not gonna work.
01:39 Even though Mikey was putting in his two cents I feel like we found the perfect balance of
01:44 different green shades.
01:45 And the flower on her head is inspired by the Digimon Paomon.
01:48 By this point you guys already know that I'm obsessed with anime.
01:51 Oh my god Maggie is looking so cute and this is so nostalgic because
01:54 Digimon was one of my favorite things growing up.
01:56 Okay I lied. My favorite favorite thing was Pokemon but Digimon was a solid second best.
02:00 I think this haircut brings out Maggie's spirit animal or I guess spirit plant.
02:04 She's like super calm, fell asleep with the haircut and she's the most gorgeous flower.
02:09 I mean just look at that face.
02:10 And I added another flower on her tail of course.
02:12 I never thought I wanted a walking flower before but now I do.
02:15 I think they call this new species the Venus Tree Trap because she loves some
02:19 cookies and can't live without them.
02:21 I could just watch and cuddle with Maggie all day.
02:23 She looks like the most adorable flower.
02:25 I was nervous at first when I started this design, but now it's one of my favorites ever.
