This is the poor pooch that accidentally had his tongue sliced off during a grooming session in Brazil.
Dog Scott was having his hair cut at a pet shop in the municipality of Quata, in the south-eastern state of Sao Paulo, on 11th November.
At one point during the trim, Scott started to squirm, causing the groomer to cut off the tip of his tongue by mistake.
Owner Vanda Souza expressed her indignation on Facebook, writing: “Today we took him for a trim, and when I went to pick him up, this is what I came across. They cut his tongue. My heart can’t take all this sadness. I even paid for this because they charged me. Unbelievable!
He was always a happy dog. Today my dog’s eyes are weeping from pain and fear. He still hasn’t eaten or even drunk. Take care of your animals. Take them to whoever does their job lovingly. My Scott, my boy, my four-legged son, I want justice.”

Local media have not named the woman who cut Scott’s hair or the business. However, they have named her as the owner of the pet shop and they have revealed she is very upset at what happened.
