Dog ends up looking like an alpaca after trip to the groomers is cut short

Most of us have had a disastrous haircut in our lives.

This was recently the case for an adorable dog named Cheddar.

The shih tzu-poodle cross ended up with a half-finished haircut resembling an alpaca, after a trip to the groomers was cut short.

It seems Cheddar was far from a ‘good boy’ at the New Jersey salon, so his owner Lisa Torres was asked to come pick him up early.

The eight-year-old canine had tried to bite the groomer, so his hairdressing appointment came to an abrupt halt – resulting in an unfinished barnet.

But Cheddar’s coat had already been blow dried – so there was an enormous poof of hair on the top of his head.

Lisa said ‘When I got the call I chuckled a little and thought “oh my god, I’m on my way to pick up a lion”, and when I get there it’s the funniest thing in the world.

‘I walk into the store and I’m completely embarrassed, like “he’s not my dog, he’s a rescue dog, don’t think he’s mine.”

‘The groomer apologised and asked if I wanted to try [again], but I said “no, it’s okay, we can just go” and I completely understood because I wouldn’t want to be carrying on after I got bit [sic].’

Lisa took to Facebook to post some brilliant photos of Cheddar looking extremely smug with his new haircut, in the front seat of her car.
