Can you really trust dog groomers?

Have you every been lulled into a false sense of security? It feels as if everything is going your way, and then, BAM!! Life decides to pop your bubble.Well, for me life was going good. I had another year of college under my belt, my exams were finished and I was feeling pretty confident about life in general. Then, I, the unsuspecting college student, came home for summer break to find that my family had decided to buy a dog. I do not like dogs. I do not like dogs at all. I am firmly a feline person, and I want a pet dog about as much as I want a pet slug, but I had no say in the matter. So home I come, and am promptly greeted by this little black ball of matted hair that thinks licking me to death is the proper manner of greeting. Needless to say, I was not impressed. Very quickly I realized that the dog has two distinct hobbies: barking all night and chewing up everything he can find.

After two days I suggested selling the mutt (or dropping him off on the nearest corner) and adopting a cat. My suggestion was quickly shot down. Well, despite my obvious dislike for the yapping creature, it fell to me to take the family pet for his first grooming. So I walked him to the PetSmart right up the road, handed them the dog and asked them to get rid of all of the matts the canine had collected. It seems my family is incapable of brushing his fur. What I left at the groomers was a small black furball, that looked similar to a black teddy bear. What I got back from the groomers was a large black rat. They had shaved his hair down to the skin, and he was quite possibly the ugliest thing I had ever seen. I tried to leave it there, explaining to my mother that he was likely to scare our neighbors. She forced me to bring him home nonetheless. Now we have a destructive and barking rat running through our house. Lucky me.

Apparently, I am not the only one that has been the unsuspecting victim of professional pet groomers. Here is a video revealing to you the danger of groomers gone mad.

*Warning: This could be traumatizing for dogs and small children alike.You have been warned.*

Be afraid. Be very afraid. This dog will never be the same again.

If anyone else reading this has had a similar experience, please leave a comment describing the horror inflicted upon your innocent pet. The world needs to be warned.
