Yorkie Mom's Honest Groomer Request Has the Internet Crying Laughing

Many pet parents know that their perfect fur babies often have a few qualities that others might find a little challenging. Our Pit Bull mix, for example, may look intimidating, but she's terrified of her own shadow. Sometimes her anxiety makes taking her anywhere more of a chore than any fun.

TikToker Ro (@rosezhae) can relate. Her Yorkie, Tino, has a challenge of his own: Her pup has a very big personality packed into a very small body. After having issues with her previous groomer, Ro is on the hunt for a new one and wants to be completely honest about the type of groomer she'll need. Watch as Tino demonstrates exactly why, all while Ro hilariously tries to downplay the situation. The feisty little dog is proof that size has absolutely nothing to do with attitude, and viewers can't stop laughing at his antics... or at his mom's very relatable struggle to find someone willing to take him on.

Viewers Are Crying Laughing at Ro's Honest Warning About Tino

Reading through the more than 31k comments was just as entertaining as watching Ro's video. @fmtorres25 got a whopping 537k likes when she shared, "It's the water they are using to rinse him, it's probably tap water, and it should be Holy Water. Hope this helps."

@dog_grooming.byjade won more than 294k likes when she said, "As a groomer... I'm booked until Thursday of 2045. Sorry." @babydoll-LEO added, "Girl, just take him to the CAR WASH."

"I'm a teacher, and this is exactly the conversation parents try to have with us," joked @readbehappy. Another commenter added, "As a fellow teacher, I can confirm."

Whoever ends up grooming Tino deserves hazard pay and probably a medal.
