Whether it's to keep them cool in the scorching summer or to prepare them for surgery, there are a number of reasons why a pet might need a haircut. However, not all of them go the same as the owners imagine in their heads. Some furry friends end up with the most comically unfortunate looks! So we at Bored Panda collected pictures from all over the internet, showcasing our beloved companions who will just have to grow it out.

    He has the legs of a badly animated cartoon dog. I can almost hear the goofy sound effects as he sneakily skitters across the floor into the next room.
