Dog groomers give owner wrong dog

One dog owner has left the groomers with a different dog than the furry friend he brought in. 

Taking to Reddit, the owner posted an image of two dogs in the front seat of their car, one being of his own dog, and another of the one he got back.

"Dog groomers gave me the wrong dog," they wrote in the post. 

Reddit users flocked to the comments to share their thoughts. 

"Is the bottom one yours? He looks happier," someone wrote, to which the owner responded, "yes lol.”

"Dog smiling like, I don't know who this person is, but what a nice person. Are you taking me to my parents? :)," another person wrote.

This isn’t the first doggy mix-up to have occurred.

In 2022, a woman from Chesapeake, Virginia told People she was given the wrong dog. 

"I was like, 'This isn't my dog, where's my dog? Where's my puppy?'" the woman said, explaining when she received the dog. 

"I didn't get a chance to get a good look at him, all I saw was white. I go to the car and I put him in. He turned around and I thought, 'He looks so different, am I tripping?’"

One person shared their own experience, "The city pound once gave me the wrong dog when I went to pick up my newly adopted dog from her spay.”

"When I was younger and worked at a dog kennel boarding house there were to yellow labs that came in around the same age and same size looked pretty freakin similar," another user wrote.

"I could tell the difference by their personality; one was a little more friendly. My boss had no idea obviously because the day I wasn't working he gave the wrong dog to its elderly owner she had him for a week."
