Oh come on, it was a 4 year old trying to wash his pet dog that was covered in muck.

add another option ->delightfully innocent

Re: Stupid or Evil?
 

oops I read his age as 24 somehow!

Very probably innocent/naively curious - thread closed!

Re: Stupid or Evil?
 

Or that. poll time :lol:?

Hmmmmm, I'm sincerely hoping that the parents are breeding, otherwise what the hell is a one week old puppy doing being taken for a walk in the garden.

I agree, an innocent and thanks to the good outcome quite cute story really. Kids have such a funny sense of logic!

Re: Stupid or Evil?
 

yep much cuter than than the 24 year old neanderthal that I invisaged dunking the poor thing down the toilet!

Re: Stupid or Evil?
 

haha, when it comes to kids and dogs....this just goes to show, you shouldn't only not leave them unsupervised for the childs safety....lol

Re: Stupid or Evil?
 

The big questin for me is why was a 4year old allowed to touch an extremely delicate 1 week old puppy.

4 year olds are not well known for being the most delicate when handling things.

Re: Stupid or Evil?
 

Yup....that's why I mentioned it in my first post. A one week old pup should not be away from mum. I think the article has this wrong. A one week old pup wouldn't be able to go for a walk in the garden unless it was being carried. Still, the RSPCA were involved, so I'm sure they'll have addressed this!

It's the old adage... never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.

Poor little doggy. So glad they got him out though - how many parents would have just given up? Once something's been flushed you just assume its gone.
