Tried to crop my dog out of a vacation photo, ended up looking like a cryptid

Was messing around with some pics from my trip to Lake Tahoe last weekend and tried to use my phone's auto cutout tool to remove my golden retriever from the background. Instead of a clean crop, it left this weird fuzzy blob where his head was, and now my friend group chat won't stop calling him the Tahoe Yeti. Has anyone else had their phone butcher a simple edit this badly?

...and that's exactly what happened to me last month with my dog too. Tried to take a photo of my buddy at the Grand Canyon and the auto cutout turned his head into this weird pixelated mess that looked like a blurry alien. My friends still call it the "Canyon Cloud Monster." I swear these phone editing tools just give up when there's fur involved, they can't handle anything that isn't perfectly round or square. Now I just use a basic manual crop and call it a day.

Geez, is it really that big of a deal though? I mean, it's just a goofy photo of a dog, not a wedding portrait or something. You crop out the dog and it looks weird, okay, so what? It's not like anyone's gonna frame it and hang it on their wall. Seems like people are making a bigger thing out of this than it needs to be over a simple phone glitch.
