'Yappy ending for puppy flushed down toilet Flush with death: Dyno the puppy is now safe and well. Puppy survives toilet flushing (ABC News) A puppy in Britain has had a lucky escape after a four-year-old boy accidentally flushed it down the toilet when he was trying to wash it, the Daily Mirror newspaper reports. The week-old cocker spaniel's young owner, Daniel Blair, thought the puppy needed a wash after it got muddy playing in the garden, so he put it in the toilet and flushed it. But his plan went disastrously wrong when the animal was swept away and became trapped in a waste pipe for nearly four hours. Firefighters and animal welfare officers could not reach it, so Daniel's mother eventually called a plumber, who found the dog lying upside down in a pipe about 20 metres away from their house in Northolt, west London. The dog - which has been named Dyno after the plumbing firm which rescued it - is now safe and well and back with the family. Daniel has apologised, blaming his twin brother for getting the dog dirty and saying: "I had to give him a wash. I'm so, so sorry. I won't do it again."' |

16 Jun 09 - 05:57 PM (#2658066) Subject: RE: BS: Yappy ending for puppy flushed down loo From: Little Hawk Dachshunds are ideally shaped for investigating things like long drainpipes or tunnels. Still, they prefer to do it of their own accord rather than by being flushed. If you flushed a dachshund down the toilet, he would never forgive you. |

16 Jun 09 - 11:21 PM (#2658257) Subject: RE: BS: Yappy ending for puppy flushed down loo From: Gurney My first thought was that the mum was pretty clued up, as she knew where the sewer went and tried the inspection vent before phoning the plumber. She had (at least) two preschoolers to look after. No small task. Bet it needed an even better wash when it was recovered. And how many people would have just kept flushing? She is a humane and concerned person, IMO. We saw the story on the TV here in NZ, including the film of the pup lying on it's back in the septic pipe, from the inspection camera. |
