Basically a four year old in North London decided to flush a puppy down the toilet. The puppy was rescued and is alright

Simple mistake - he should have used a Laborador puppy, obviously

What a little brat - hes 4 years old!!! The boys parents should have watched the puppies more closely. I was very angry when i saw this on the news, and i hope the poor little puppy continues to recover!

The puppy was taken out in the garden for a walk by two 4 year old twins.

The puppy was one week old! One week old puppies don't walk, they don't even have their eyes open!!!

The kid needs to be flushed down the loo:mad:

to be fair, a four year old would have no concept of what this would do to the pup, and can't be held responsible for this at all - however, the mum of the kids, who let them take a week old pup "for a walk" unsupervised, must be an idiot - the pup is totally dependant, and shouldn't be taken away from its mum at that stage at all, never mind ragged around by toddlers!

One twin 'got him muddy' and the other one 'wanted to clean him'...unbelievable....
I can't believe it's the 'feel good 'story at the end of the news!!

One week old pups should be left with their mum, if the four year olds are so developmentally (sp?) young (as most four year olds would know this was wrong to do, let's face it), their bl**dy mother should be watching them the entire time they're awake!! Stupid stupid woman.

Probably not a good time to tell the story of my eldest daughter when she was about 3, a whelly boot and our pet guinea pig then....

I didn't know it was wrong to feed my young sister rhubarb leaves when I was about the same age..........

I was disgusted when I read this story :mad:
What on earth are the parents thinking leaving their children unsupervised with the puppies. It's not like it was just for a second or two it was long enough for them to take the poor thing outside and get it dirty and then take it to the bathroom. It really makes my blood boil. Well done to the people who rescued it and thank god it's OK. Let's hope they are more responsible when it comes to finding good homes for the puppies.

i've got to defend the mother a bit here, it's impossible to watch two 4 year olds constantly and a litter of pup's and kids have a knack of getting into trouble in zero seconds. Also the child wouldn't have meant to harm the pup,
