How to clean yourself after touching a dog in Islam?

In Islam, if you touch a wet part of a dog or its saliva, the affected area needs purification, with different schools having specific methods, but generally, the Shafi'i/Hanbali view requires washing the spot seven times with water, one wash incorporating soil/dirt, while Hanafi/Maliki views are more lenient, often considering it normal impurity or only needing standard washing, especially for skin/clothing. Dry contact usually doesn't require special cleaning, but wet contact with a dog (saliva, wet fur) requires a thorough cleansing ritual, especially for vessels.
