Is it safe to use human shampoo on my dog if I'm out of dog shampoo?

Question

I'm all out of dog shampoo so is it ok to use a small amount of my shampoo to wash buster, just this once. Pet's info: Dog | Shar Pei | Male | neutered | 5 years and 8 months old | 38.14 lbs

The problem with human shampoos is that they contain fragrences and ingredients that can strip a dog's skin's natural oils and dry it out. I would use a gentle baby shampoo instead, or you can use Dawn dish soap to wash him.
