An owner asking and expecting a "teddy bear chic" look for their goldendoodle's haircut couldn't believe the result after the appointment.
The goldendoodle named Bruno is crossbreed of a golden retriever and a poodle, and is known to have unique fur—loose curls and sometimes shaggy. Regular grooming is important to maintain this breed's coat.
An article from WikiHow that was last updated in April states that goldendoodles need to be brushed regularly, bathed about once a week and should receive haircuts every four to six weeks.
Bruno's owner expected another routine haircut but was surprised to find the dog looked like an entirely different canine. The May 21 Instagram video posted to the account @brunothegroodlelife, which reached over 3.4 million views, shows the pup before his haircut, with his long, lush brown locks.
After the haircut, Bruno appeared to have lost a significant amount of weight, as all of the dog's fur had been shaved off. The groomer only left the fur around his nose long. It looked like he had a mustache.
The video's caption reads: "I asked for 'teddy bear chic'... they gave me 'naked mole rat on a budget.'"
The owner told Newsweek via TikTok that they did not expect the video to become as popular as it did, with over 85,100 likes and 1,793 comments on Instagram. He posted the video to participate in a trend of owners sharing dog haircuts gone wrong.

Instagram Users React
Instagram users became conflicted at the result of the haircut. Some loved the fresh, new due. Others quickly chimed in to defend the groomer, guessing the dog had matted fur.
"I think he looks adorable with short hair!" commented one user.
Appalled by the hair, another wrote: "Omg...are you kidding me. That groomer should find another career."
A third user posted: "He probably feels so much better getting those mats and knots out. They're painful."
Meanwhile, a groomer added in the comments section: "...I'm sure he was matted. We don't shave for nothing. It's more work on us!!"
"We honestly find it a bit funny how many groomers are coming out in attack mode—acting like they were the ones who trimmed him, and claiming he's neglected," Bruno's owner said. "In reality, he's one of the most pampered and well-loved little boys."

Meghan Markle shares rare photo of Lilibet's birth in honor of her 4th birthday
Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is celebrating her golden birthday. On Wednesday, June 4, the only daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle turned 4 years old. In celebration of the big day, Markle took to Instagram. The mom of two shared two black and white photos of Lilibet. The first, and most current, photo showed Markle snuggling Lilibet while sitting on a boat. The second photo was taken four years ago in the moments immediately following Lilibet's birth as Markle laid in her hospital bed. 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives,' Markle captioned the Instagram photos, 'and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!' The rare photos come just a week after Markle shared a video of herself and Lilibet in matching beekeeping gear. The video showed Lilibet joining her mom as they harvested honey and honeycomb from their personal hive. 'Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! Harvesting honey with my little honey,' Markle wrote. 'Like mother, like daughter; she's even wearing my gloves.' During the latest episode of her 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast, in a conversation with Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, Markle revealed her big plans for herself and Lilibet. While talking with Knowles, Markle marveled at her relationship with her famous daughters. 'You've worked with the girls for years, but this is a different type of endeavor,' Markle said to Knowles. 'Just curious, I mean, I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lili and we'll be building something?' Knowles called working with her daughters 'the best' and shared tips on how best to work with children. 'There are difficulties sometimes because if you're dealing with your child or you're dealing with your mother, you know, you have disagreements,' Knowles said. 'I'm the one that always caves. I've been like that since I was young. If my kids are mad at me, I can't take it. I'll apologize.' In addition to Lilibet, Markle and Prince Harry share a son, 6-year-old Archie Harrison, who celebrated his birthday last month.

Part toy, part fashion, the arrival of the viral Labubu was a long time in the making
Labubu, the plush toy from China's Pop Mart is a social media darling, but the toothy little monsters are far from an overnight success. Having appeared a decade ago, Labubus may have finally cemented their place in the collectible toy market for years to come. The Labubu, by artist and illustrator Kasing Lung, first appeared with pointed ears and pointy teeth, in three picture books inspired by Nordic mythology in 2015. In 2019 Lung struck a deal with Pop Mart, a company that caters to toy connoisseurs and influencers, to sell Labubu figurines. But it wasn't until Pop Mart started selling Labubu plush toys on key rings in 2023 that the toothy monsters suddenly seemed to be everywhere, including in the hands of Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and NBA star Dillon Brooks. K-pop singer Lisa of Blackpink began posting images of hers for her more than 100 million followers on Instagram and on TikTok, where Labubu pandemonium has broken out. There are 1.4 million #Labubu TikTok posts and counting, videos of fans unboxing them, showing styles inspired by them, and of course, Labubu cosplay. Fans have latched on to Labubu's mashup of play and fashion, making them accessories on handbags, backpacks and belts, or hanging them from car mirrors. 'The character has evolved into a collectible and style symbol, resonating with fans who connect with its quirky aesthetic and unique backstory,' Emily Brough, Popmart's head of IP licensing in the Americas, said. Labubu has been a bonanza for Pop Mart. Its revenue more than doubled in 2024 to 13.04 billion yuan ($1.81 billion), thanks in part to its elvish monster. Revenue from Pop Mart's plush toys soared more than 1,200% in 2024, nearly 22% of its overall revenue, according to the company's annual report. Aside from their ability to pique the interest of toy aficionados and fashionistas, Labubu latched on to the blind box phenomenon, where the purchaser doesn't know exactly which version of the plush toy they'll get. And Pop Mart made sure there is a Labubu for everyone, regardless of income. Most are priced in a wide rage between $20 and $300, with certain collaborations or limited editions priced higher, according to Brough. Unlike many toys, Labubu devotees include a large number of adults. Buyers ages 18 and over drove a year-over-year increase of more than $800 million in the U.S. toy market in 2024, according to market research firm Circana. Adult shoppers, mostly female, bought the toys for themselves. In 2025's first quarter, toy sales for those ages 18 and over rose 12% from the prior-year period. At $1.8 billion, adults also accounted for the highest spending among all age groups in the quarter. Like many retailers, Pop Mart is actively monitoring negotiations between the U.S. and just about every one of its trading partners as prices may be impacted. The situation with China is at the forefront, with President Donald Trump saying on Friday that the country 'violated' an agreement with the United States on trade talks. Right now Pop Mart, whose products are manufactured across Asia, says that it is continuously scaling production and expanding distribution across its online shop, retail stores and blind box vending machines to meet increasing demand. Short supply has led to long lines at stores and at least one physical fight at a shopping center in the United Kingdom. Pop Mart said in an Instagram post late last month that it was temporarily suspending all in-store and blind box machine sales in the U.K. Peter Shipman, head of Europe, said in a Facebook post that the company is currently working on a new method to distribute toys to stores. Resellers have become problematic and many Labubu fans are still willing to pay exorbitant price markups. Kena Flynn was at The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles recently when she stumbled upon some Labubus being sold at a kiosk. Flynn said in a TikTok on Sunday that the prices were 'really bad,' but her boyfriend bought two anyway. 'At a certain point, you can't buy them,' Flynn said in her video. 'I just want a Labubu and I cannot buy one from Pop Mart, so here we are.' Looking to keep up with the overwhelming demand, Pop Mart says it's on track for 50 more retail locations in the U.S. by the end of the year. That'll give shoppers more chances to hunt for Labubus, as Pop Mart says it's planning multiple new Labubu releases tied to seasonal moments and holidays throughout the rest of the year.

TikTok Star Sana Yousaf Passes Away at 17
Pakistani TikTok star and influencer Sana Yousaf has reportedly died. Yousaf was a prominent social media personality in Pakistan and had garnered over a million followers on TikTok and several hundred thousand followers on Instagram. 17-year-old TikTok star Sana Yousaf was reportedly shot dead at her home in Islamabad, Pakistan, around 5 p.m. local time on June 2, 2025. Her mother and aunt were near her when the incident took place. According to the authorities, Yousaf was killed because she declined a man's advances (via USA Today). Islamabad Police apprehended 22-year-old Umar Hayat, the reported main suspect in the killing, a day after the incident. Hayat lived around 200 miles away from Islamabad in the city of Faisalabad. Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan's Interior Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that the authorities had recovered the murder weapon as well as Yousaf's iPhone and that the main suspect had confessed to the murder. In a June 3 press conference, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, the Inspector General of Islamabad, offered details about the case. He called the accused 'a monster, cold-blooded murderer' before adding that he was 'now in the law's grip.' Rizvi noted that the accused wanted to 'become friends' with Yousaf, but the latter rejected him multiple times. 'First, it was a cellular rejection. Now, it was a physical mode of rejection,' Rizvi elaborated. Per the authorities, the suspect planned Yousaf's murder. He broke into her home and shot her before fleeing the scene. Rizvi stated that the accused took Yousaf's phone to erase any possible indications of his involvement. 'It was a blind murder; there were no leads, and things were not clear,' he said. 'Attempts were made to give the incident another angle, even though the aim of taking the mobile was to wipe out the clues.' The authorities also mentioned that the accused hail from an impoverished background. He had completed his matriculation, which is the equivalent to high school in the US, with 'no source of income.'
