The nine-second TikTok video includes footage of the little mutt gambolling across the wooden floorboards of Didi's living room.
With its paws springing forward and its snout protruding, the video of the "poodle" puppy was an omen of the different kind of creature it would become.
But Didi was still stunned by what became of it as an adult dog.
Footage of the grown-up pooch revealed how it had become a wiry, hairless creature in no way resembling a purebred poodle.
Its skinny tail whips back and forth as it looks up pleadingly from its empty water bowl.
People were divided over Didi's decision to slam her dog on TikTok.
One dog lover said: "It's not his fault you've cut his hair like that.
Steph said: "You could tell he wasn't going to be small – what puppy looks that huge?"
Another American said: "I think you didn't know what you were buying.
"A mini poodle is different from a toy poodle, and is usually four times the size."
