Sad Yorkshire terrier Jasper went to have his long locks trimmed by a dog groomer — and came back virtually bald. Owner Neil Hellier had asked the trimmer to take an inch off Jasper’s coat. Now the expat, who lives in Portugal, has to put sun block on the five-year-old pooch to stop him getting burnt in the fierce Algarve heat.
Neil said: "When I went to pick him up this completely bald dog came trotting out of the pet salon and I thought it belonged to someone else. It was only when I called Jasper’s name and he responded that I realized it was him. He certainly seemed upset by what had happened. He hid in my daughter’s wardrobe for days and refused to come out." Neil, 37, who lives in Lagoa with Chloe, 33, and daughters Megan, 13, and nine-year-old Ellie, added: "I should have realised something was up when the Portuguese owner admitted he didn’t know what a Yorkie was. "I think he mistook Jasper for a Chihuahua as you see lots of them in Portugal — and they don’t have long coats."

If it happened to me I'd be really mad at the dog groomer.
