A father finds himself in a bit of trouble after mistakenly bringing home the wrong pooch from PetSmart. Let’s face it, dads can sometimes be a bit oblivious. While it’s not fair to generalize, my own father often missed the finer details of our lives, which makes this story all the more relatable. A dad brought home a different dog after a trip to PetSmart, and both his family and the internet are in stitches over it.
According to reports, 10-year-old toy Maltese, Bella, is a cherished family member. 22-year-old college student Chris shares that they’ve had Bella since she was a tiny puppy, and the family loves her dearly. However, that doesn’t guarantee that his dad could identify her among a group of other dogs at the groomers, as this amusing viral video highlights.
“MY DAD TOOK OUR DOG TO PETSMART FOR GROOMING AND RETURNED WITH A DIFFERENT DOG, NOT REALIZING IT UNTIL MY BROTHER AND I POINTED IT OUT,” Chris tweeted in all caps. When it comes to hilarious situations, nothing beats your dad bringing home the wrong dog from the groomers. The video captures Chris and his brother cracking up as the unfamiliar pup bounces around.
Chris mentions that his dad is typically assigned the task of picking up Bella, but this time he got a little mixed up, as two Maltese dogs were there at the same time. “He said the dog acted normally, followed him to the car, and jumped in as soon as he opened the door,” Chris explains. Poor dad initially thought his sons were playing a prank on him but eventually acknowledged that something felt off. “We were in stitches and asked him why he would take the dog if he sensed something was wrong. He replied, ‘I thought my eyesight was failing me.’”
We’ve all had those moments, right?
Ultimately, the family had to say goodbye to the mystery dog. “We told him he needed to return her, and he said, ‘Yeah, I need to fix this before Mom gets home,’” Chris elaborates. They eventually told their mother, who found the whole incident just as amusing as everyone else did.
To avoid another mix-up, the dad texted a photo of Bella to the family before heading back to make sure he was bringing home the right pup.
Of course, the reactions on social media were priceless, as they usually are.
And honestly, it could have turned out much worse.
This situation is incredibly relatable. I can easily picture my own dad bringing home a random dog of similar size and color, thinking he had done a great job. Luckily, this little blunder turned into a funny story rather than a tragic case of mistaken identity involving a beloved pet. Bella is safe at home, and dad is off the hook.
