An American woman has angered the internet after she had her dog groomed to look like The Grinch.
Ashley Speilmann, from Illinois, took to TikTok this week to share a clip of her family dog – a miniature schnauzer named Rizzo – after Rizzo had been to the groomers.
In the photos, Rizzo’s fur had been dyed green, red and white to look like The Grinch in a Santa suit.
“When your groomer slays making your dog into The Grinch,” she wrote over the clip.

“I just. wouldn’t,” one added, while another called the four-legged pooch a “poor baby”.
