Saw a stray dog in the alley last night with a bad scrape. Any quick ways to clean it up without pulling it into a clinic?

Hey, that’s rough. If you can approach it slowly and keep it calm, rinse the scrape with warm water and a mild soap, then gently pat it dry. If you have a clean bandage or gauze, you can loosely cover it—just make sure it’s not tight. Watch for swelling or signs of infection over the next few days. If you can, try to get the dog to a shelter or vet for a check‑up, but for now just keep it clean and calm.
