GMTV this morning - Stolen Pug Puppy

[BBH]

Am I the only one who thought maybe the puppy was ' rescued' as opposed to stolen. I know its still taking without permission but I wonder if the motive was different.

This tiny little pug puppy was bought for a 4 yrs mentally handicapped boy who certainly didn't look calm enough on the footage to be having a tiny pup. Also the pup was kept in a kennel outside in the day and brought in at night. Personally I think thats a strange choice of breed if you want to keep a dog outside. I've hear of PAT dogs but they are in a more controlled environment.

PS I also didn't like the other referring to the pup as it.

Who knows but certainly i'd not sell a pup to that home but hey what do I know.

I was only half listening to the item, but did notice they said the little lad had been given another pup but "hadn't taken to it". I wondered if that meant he had tried to hurt it as they said he could be violent. Very hard to judge without knowing all the facts but maybe you are right. I sold a puppy to a family with a little girl with Downs syndrome, they were very honest and said they weren't sure how she would take to pup and asked to visit regularly before taking it. This they did and the little girl, who was quite clumsy, was wonderful with the pup. He had a very happy home with them and I received loads of pics throughout his life.

See your buyers sound very sensible but I hate myself for thinking it but this family didn't seem suited to a puppy particularly a small puglet.
