what i want to know..is where are the parents??? Granted he is old enough to know...but the parents could have had enough brains to tell their child not to do that....i mean well..i guess they didnt have enough brains to give him the puppy in the first place..but come on...gezz the parents coulda at least game him food if he was making noise.....and if they went on vacation with the kid why didnt they help out the kid to take him to a kennel for the time being....???? I mean a 16 year old should have responsiblity enough to ask them what do to...but grrrr....
