"The people who saw me washing the animal came to me with their own... that's how this trend started," Sagheer told news agency AFP.

Several animals for Eid, a festival of animals' sacrifice, come from a huge market on the outskirts of Karachi, known as as the largest such bazaar in Asia.&nbsp;

Animals are often filled with dirt, dust and dung and in times of coronavirus pandemic, hygiene has become paramount.&nbsp;

"I make it a point to sanitise the animal with disinfectants," Sagheer said, who also washes the animals from a pressure hose, a lather with suds, a rinse and a scrub.&nbsp;

He charges Rs 100 (nearly 60 cents), which according to Mohammad Uzair, a customer, is "nothing".&nbsp;
