Claim:
A pet-drying device, comprising: a flexible sheet material of rectangular configuration having four openings formed therein for receiving the legs of a four-legged animal; each of said four openings being relatively small in diameter when in repose so that each opening of said four openings seals around a perimeter of a pet's leg; each of said openings of said four openings being lined with a strip of elastic material so that each opening of said four openings can expand in a plane of said sheet material when occupied by a pet's leg having a breadth that exceeds a breadth of each opening of said four openings when in repose; said sheet material including a first longitudinally disposed edge, a second longitudinally disposed edge parallel to said first longitudinally disposed edge, a first transversely disposed edge, and a second transversely disposed edge parallel to said first transversely disposed edge; a first hem formed in said first longitudinally disposed edge, said first hem adapted to receive a first drawstring; a second hem formed in said second longitudinally disposed edge, said second hem adapted to receive a second drawstring; a first fastener secured to said device along an extent of said first transversely disposed edge; a second fastener secured to said device along an extent of said second transversely disposed edge on an opposite side of said device; said second fastener releasably engaging said first fastener so that said first and second fasteners releasably engage one another along their respective extents when said device is wrapped into a generally tubular configuration about the trunk of a pet; a fifth opening formed in said sheet material; a flexible hose; said flexible hose having a first end adapted to be connected to a source of warm air including a fan for blowing said warm air and a second end that releasably engages said fifth opening.
