Humzoo Help!

I came home last night to a dog who smelled like he had been to the festering depths of hell and back. I don't know what he got into, or when, or how... but he smells like a dead animal.

I immediately carried him to the shower (trying not to gag) and attempted to shampoo the brown dried matted substance that was soaking his fur around his neck, and saturated his collar.

The collar was a total loss. I didn't even attempt to clean it, I just threw it in the trash. The dog however, is not as easily disposed of, so I tried my best to double shampoo the stench off of him.

Unfortunately, even after several shampoos and rinses, the smell lingers in his fur like a bad memory. (man that was poetic.) So, I Googled "smelly dog home remedies" and came up with a concoction that's supposed to get rid of skunk smell. Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish soap.

So, poor Fargo went BACK into the shower, and I lathered him up once again with this weird mixture of household ingredients. I thought this would really do it. I had all the faith in the world...

But unfortunately.. he still stinks to high heaven. I am at a loss, and I implore the Humzoo Community to please suggest some ways I can get my dog smelling back to normal. Please help!
