Just watching Keith Lemons Lemonaid where 3 parents with their children just competed in a game to win a puppy. Just any kind of puppy. A girl won and then a giant bone who goes by the name of Peter Andre disappeared off stage and came back with a pug puppy!

The parents had agreed to it, but something just doesn't sit right with me. It just seems wrong to me to compete to win a puppy. The children that lost looked so disappointed too.

YABU to watch Keith Lemon Grin

No it's hugely irresponsible- animals as prizes (in fairs,like the goldfish) have been banned, so this is really out of order.
But I presume the parents were all on board if they did win, to look after the pup.

There was a competition to win IVF a while back.
And Jeremey Kyles 2nd wife was the winner of a competition to marry a virtual stranger.(Didn't last, she met JK as it was the radio station he worked on).

I like Keith Lemon Blush

The little girl that won called him Keith.

I just watched that and knew there would be comments about it..... however I would assume that all parents were fully aware that the prize was to be a real dog, and were happy with that.

I know the parents would've been happy about it but I just don't think it's the most responsible way to get a dog. It's not even as if they cared what breed it was, aslong as it was a puppy.
