Do you recall being taken by your parents to a hairstylist you barely knew as a child? Usually, the results weren't great. You'd end up going to school with a goofy hairstyle and endure the long, frustrating wait for your hair to grow back. Surprisingly, the same kind of haircut disaster can happen to dogs too!
In Indiana, USA, a poodle named Louie was sent for a grooming session, but when he came back, his expression was downright embarrassing. It seems even dogs can tell when their haircut is a total flop.
According to Newsweek, Louie's owner, Maddie Hilaski, shared a before-and-after video of Louie's grooming on TikTok. After dropping Louie off, Maddie asked her boyfriend to pick him up. When he returned with Louie, he messaged Maddie saying, "He looks super unhappy." Maddie was initially puzzled, but once she saw Louie's new look, she immediately understood why.
Louie originally only needed a minor trim, but the new groomer went overboard and gave him a drastically different cut. Louie came home looking like a completely different dog, sporting a haircut so bad it mirrored the helpless expression of a human stuck with a terrible hairdo. Facing the camera, Louie showed a resigned, world-weary look that perfectly captured his frustration.
Maddie explained that the salon should have carefully noted Louie's usual style and grooming preferences. "She did ask me if I wanted it cut the same as before," Maddie said. She also shared photos of Louie's adorable original look and later uploaded videos showing how she bought new toys and treats to make it up to him. Thankfully, Louie has forgiven her.
Louie's disgruntled face has captivated over 27 million viewers online, with netizens finding the situation hilarious. Comments included: "He's furious," "His good mood got shaved off with his fur," "He looks like a completely different dog," "The origin story of a dog's dark side," and "This haircut should be a crime."
