Exclamation A dog hung in a playground.

In the paper the last couple days, there was a story about this kid who went to the park to play with his dog. Now the dog killed and the kid told his parent (and the police and the media) that three teenagers came along and took the dog, tied it to a piece of playground equipement and hung it. It was all over the news, people were so upset that some teenagers could do such a horrible thing. On the front page of the journal there was a picture of their family sitting there, they all looked so sad, and the dad looked angry.

Now this morning in the paper i am sitting there and sure enough, front page, there is an article about the issue. It says that the boy was lying! He told everyone that teenagers hung the dog when really HE tied it to the peice of equipment and the dog fell off and hung itself. Now the boy was only 10 years old so it seemed like the worst possible thing in the world and his parents would kill him, so he made up a story...a beleivable story, one that made thousands of people across North America angry that people would kil an innocent dog, and then people find out the kid was lying, man im sure that kid is in for some serious trouble. Anyways, i just thought it was interesting, whatta you think?

I wouldnt have told my parents straight out, I mean he's ten, he's not gonna exactly gonna face up to it is he. all I'm sayin is, I can see why he told a lie.

Poor kid ...poor dog!!! 10 years old and you don't know not to tie your dog to a piece a equiment when the dog can't climb?? *sigh* I guess he didn't mean to do it........but why are we getting upset over a dog?? People die everyday for no reasons...innocent bystanders, little children...etc..etc...oh well i guess it's human nature.

I feel rather bad for any teens who may have gotten blamed... then a gain, the kid will have to remember it for the rest of his life. I wonder why he did it... then again, a lot of crap happens... people are beinging murdered all over the world, genocide is not extinct, war is prevelent, and we're worried about a lttle kid and his dead dog.

How the hell can someone do that do a dog? Even if it isn't your favorite animal, you don't kill it! AS for the kid blaming teenagers, wait until he's 13, he'll be the bad example of teenagers that makes us all look like delinquents.

Or maybe he'll be a normal teenager because in this case, he's just ten, he made a mistake, got scared, and lied... oh no, kids lie to cover up some stuff? Who'da thunk it!

Wait, the kid did it by accident right?

Then he didn't actually murder his dog, it was an accident...

Still a stupid move, and I feel sorry for that dog (I hope it's in Doggy Heaven now) and the family...

Who is that stupid when they're ten years old though? He apparently tied the dog to a high place or something, as if if he moved, he'd be hanged, there really wasn't any other possibility. I wonder how many accidents really aren't accidents?
