I was stunned when I got my dog back from the groomer – I think he might have been switched in the shop
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.
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.
While other poodle and mixed poodle owners insisted changing up their cut is one of the best parts of breed.
"I have a toy poodle and I love how many different styles he can have!" one wrote.
"He’s rocking the poodle fro currently!"
"That's the best thing about a poodle you can always grow their hair out or get it short or any design you wish," another added, calling them "the best breed".
"I have a standard poodle and I love him in the poodle cut," a third said.
"It’s actually so pretty. Doodle owners will never understand!"
"My family have had poodles for 30 years," someone else wrote.
"I think everyone is used to seeing doodles and has forgotten what a poodle cut looks like.
