I bought ‘£1.2k purebred husky’ but was baffled when it grew up to be something totally different
A DOG lover who bought a “£1.2K purebred husky” was left baffled when it grew up to be something totally different.
TikToker @vienatta took to social media, chronicling the development of the pup as it grew up.
At the beginning of the video, the puppy is held up by the woman and its natural pedigree coat is seen.
As the clip continued, the dog changed colour and grew in size.
By the end of the short film, it was clear the owner had been scammed.
She said: “Watch our puppy transform.
“Watch how it changes colours.”
While the woman did not disclose how much she paid for the dog, purebred husky’s can cost up £1,200.
Despite being scammed, TikTok users flocked to share their love for the dog.
“OMG the dog is so beautiful when it gets big,” a TikTok user said.
“So cute,” one said.
“So pretty,” a second said.
“That colour change was amazing,” another said.
Since 2020, pet scams have risen more than 400 per cent as crooks target those desperate for a companion.
A reported 1,428 victims lost £614,226 to fraudsters during three months in 2020.
Another woman was also left stunned when she realised her purebred £1.7k goldendoodle puppy was not what its papers claimed it was.
And a woman bought a £3k purebred French bulldog puppy – which grew up to look shockingly different too.
