With so many people retreating inside during the coronavirus pandemic, a lot of us will now have to take our haircare and personal grooming into our own hands for the first time, instead of relying on a barber. Indeed, this goes double for our pets, and those of us who would usually take our adorable canine companions to a professional dog groomer have instead been forced to try to groom their fur ourselves.
Sometimes the results can be surprisingly good, but other times ... well, let's just say that it's a blessing that some dogs aren't going out as much. For instance, A dog owner has ended up inadvertently going viral on social media this week, after their attempt to groom their pet while in isolation went very wrong.
Take a look at this adorable video about a pooch who has been moonlighting as a deliverydog:

The images in question were taken by an Instagrammer named Hermione, who hails from Sydney in Australia. Earlier this week she uploaded photos of her pet Pomeranian dog Mash, who was in badly in need of getting some of his poofy furs snipped off.
However, it seems as though Hermione was a little over-zealous with the scissors, and she posted two side-by-side pics of Mash, one showing him looking like a dandelion with all his fluff, and another showing the 'after' results.

Hermione captioned the post: "Take it from Mash and wait until the professionals are back."
This incident comes just a few days after a woman gave her husband a haircut so bad that he shaved his head afterward. Emily and Cory Pendergast, who hail from the state of Ohio, shared a video documenting Emily's ill-fated her attempt to cut Cory's hair on Facebook.
Have a look at the haircut fail in the clip below:

In a later interview with BuzzFeed on the subject her video, Emily stated: "Knowing my lack of talent, my friend, Allison, suggested I film it. We love to send fun videos to our family to keep them entertained.
She continued: "It has been nice hearing that the video has been a fun distraction for those who need a good laugh during a time like this ... Cory, as you can tell, is incredibly positive and lighthearted. When he saw his ‘bangs’ in my hands, I think he was fully dumbfounded."
