Pet store fail leaves poor pooch a little ruff around the edges

This is how the dog looked before it went to the groomer.

Twitter user @REALBURTIIS was horrified when he picked up his sister's little four-legged friend from the dog groomer last week.

The animal didn't look anything like the dog who was dropped off at Pet Smart earlier in the day.

The furious customer took a photo of the dog's new look and posted it on Twitter.

Even the rapper Missy Elliot (49) dropped by to express her dismay. She wrote: "Now why they do that baby like dat smh now dats not eeeen right."

Another "victim" of the pet store chain grooming servicealso came forward and tweeted proof of a botched beauty treatment: "They did the same thing to my dog," she wrote.

Luckily, this formerly cute canine will eventually be able to look more like herself soon, once her fur grows back.

Until then, it's safe to say no And hopefully this dog won't be going back to this groomer any time soon!
