An award-winning dog groomer known for his unique grooming skills has wowed the internet yet again after transforming a puppy into a Pokémon.
Social media star Gabriel Feitosa, 26, from California, US, who has 1.2 million followers on TikTok (@gabrielfeitosagrooming), recently shared a video of his latest creation – a poodle pup he has dubbed transformed into ‘Arcanine’, a character in the franchise.
The clip has gone viral on TikTok, having been viewed over 1.4 million times and racking up 194,000 likes.
The footage shows eight-month-old Edea, a white-furred poodle, sitting patiently on a chair, awaiting its makeover.
In an incredible attempt at video effects, Gabriel approaches the pup with a Pokemon toy and with a flash of light, the poodle is transformed with dog-safe hairdye.
