Never liking to reveal my age...but, I grew up with crate trained doggies, and I am, gasp, 38 this year!

My thoughts? WOW. This, like most things in life, comes down to education. If I have to place blame, as lawyers like to do, I do place it with the 'adult' in the house.

Taking the facts as true, who in their right mind places a baby animal with a partially paralyzed child? My thoughts would be FIRST for the animals safety, as that is what I signed on for when I brought them into my home, and the LIKELIHOOD of injury is with the pup, rather than the child.

I am NOT saying I don't owe a responsibility to the child, obviously, that is not accurate. But, in this situation, I would have thought the risk laid with the puppy, not the boy.

But, to PTS the dog? Come on. However, in the age of PP (permissive parenting) that makes much more sense, I guess, then saying to little Johnny, "no, puppy needs to sleep in his crate, the floor, outside your room, etc."

The whole thing reads like fiction. And to the person that said, "what do they gain by lying about it"? Lies are abound, all the time, everywhere, in the news, internet, and sadly, in our own lives.
