Right so parade the dog in front of the media and chuck cash at someone else to socialise and train it (and the people who own it will of course need training themselves in how to handle it - the first rule being to skill up the owners). Riiight. So not a stunt then. It'll soak up the atmosphere like a sponge. Poor little thing.
What a ridiculous time to take on a rescue dog. I'm very surprised whoever it was with allowed it.

Nice work Dominic.This country is on its arse but hey ho Bungling Boris has a new dog..yay!

Saucery · 02/09/2019 17:34

I’m sure many here will take the greatest delight in anything happening to that puppy. Because some people are just really odd.

Dilyn is a welsh word meaning Follow. Dog came from Rhondda.
Cute dog.

Boris to address the Nation at 6 with or without puppy

Of course it’s a stunt. An hilariously obvious, cynical one and I’d expect nothing less from that delightful duo.
However, that dog is going to want for nothing and will have many watchful eyes on it (not least the rather distasteful posters on here who seem to want something horrible to happen to it so they can say “I told you so!”)
JRTs are friendly, adaptable and a great boom to many suitable families. If more people have a look at Rescues because of this one being the subject of media attention then that’s all to the good.

Dogs like bumholes.

PaneerOfEvil · 02/09/2019 17:41

If he’s anything like his owner they’ll probably want to get him neutered ASAP.

Saucery · 02/09/2019 17:42

*boon. Although their barks can also ‘boom’ when required.

Wonder if it’s just to address the nation about his new puppy? That would be amusing.

PortiaCastis · 02/09/2019 17:42

Grin @ piglet john

TheCaddyisaBaddie · 02/09/2019 17:44

I wonder if Carrie's tweet when they break up will be '... and I'm keeping the dog'

MaxNormal · 02/09/2019 17:44

Cummings will take it round the back and shoot it post-election.

Busybusybust · 02/09/2019 17:47

The cynic in me says he’s trying t guarantee the dog lovers’ vote.

Saucery · 02/09/2019 17:50

What a shame I like larger breeds. If he’d rocked up with a Wolfhound or a Malinois I would have definitely voted for him Hmm

RabbityMcRabbit · 02/09/2019 17:50

Victoria Stilwell will be involved in the training, I believe.

What, Boris' training?

LaurieMarlow · 02/09/2019 17:51

He’s lovely. Can we make him pm?

Couldn’t be worse than the current prick.

kitk · 02/09/2019 17:53

Should've called him Distracto-Dog

PhonicTheHedgehog · 02/09/2019 17:54

Shock at PigletJohn talking about bottoms. I’m going to have to rearrange my mind...

Woodlandwitch · 02/09/2019 17:56

It’s cute (for now)

Littlechocola · 02/09/2019 18:13

‘Down Boris! That’s a good boy’

Sorry I mean Dilyn! Shock

LakieLady · 02/09/2019 18:14

He only got a dog to make himself more popular imo.

He is a fab dog though. I worry for Larry, my cat left home when I got my second lakeland terrier.

FenellaMaxwell · 02/09/2019 18:15

Bet the poor little thing is dumped at Battersea come Nov 1st Hmm

BlueSuffragette · 02/09/2019 18:26

Beautiful dog....a rescue dog too.

daylilies · 02/09/2019 18:32

but what about the resident cat?

Ronsters · 02/09/2019 19:00

I wondered about the cat too. Larry looks like he can look after himself though.
