A PET owner was stunned when she arrived to pick up her pooch from the groomer's, only to find a "different dog" in its place.
She took to social media to share snaps of her dog Sunny both before and after his £95 spruce up, with his change in appearance somewhat dramatic.
In the , she posted a clip of how toy poodle Sunny looked before his grooming appointment, writing over the top: "The groomer gave me back a different dog..."
His pre-appearance showed the adorable canine looking cuddly and very fluffy.
She then shared Sunny's post-groom appearance as she joked that he'd "just got poodled".
The pooch had been clipped all over, with larger sections of hair left on the top of his head, on his ears and around his feet - a style commonly chosen for "traditional" poodles.

In the caption, Sunny's owner laughed that at least she's "no longer being asked what kind of doodle he is".
"I’d be getting his microchip checked just to make sure that was actually my dog," one person in the comments joked.
As another laughed: "He went from 'I’m good' to 'marvellous darling' with that cut! So cute!"
"He's wearing his own Uggs!" a third giggled.
