To think this is Boris’s worst decision?

[Motherinlawsdung]

He’s moved a rescue pup into number 10, good idea. But it’s a Jack Russell Terrier. AIBU to think this is a dastardly plan to ensure that the Chancellor and all other inhabitants within 100 yards will move out, worn out with the incessant barking?

And has it met the cat?

No he has made much much worse ones.

Though I think the cat should have been consulted!

There will be worse noises than dog barking!!

It’s probably an actor playing a rescue jack Russell.

It’s got a look of that one from Gentleman Jack

Yeah, if it’s getting to the point where the gov’t is drafting in cute puppies with heart-rending back stories involving Wales, we are really up shit creek without a paddle.

Nope I'm completely sold now, Boris is clearly a stand up guy if he rescues puppies..... vote leave for me all the way!!!

He’s moved a rescue pup into number 10

Although does he not actually live at number 11? So he's moved the pup into his neighbour's house?

There is nothing wrong with JRTs. Any dog will bark if not trained properly

I'm surprises the charity let him rehome the puppy. They seem a busy couple.

I think the cat will put the puppy firmly in it's place!!

Although does he not actually live at number 11? So he's moved the pup into his neighbour's house? confused

I saw it being carried in through the door of No 10. I suspect that is the only access for deliveries for No 11. There is a connecting internal door between the two houses.
I really think they would have been better to get an adult rescue dog. I can't imagine how they will get on with a puppy crying several times a night and weeing in inappropriate spots. Have they got enough time to give to the puppy, I wonder? Apparently it is OK with cats - not sure about Larry, though.

If it's anything like our JRT it will be heading up the cabinet before long and won't suffer fools gladly. Could only be good for the country imo.

joystir you make a very good point!

I love JRTs. Such feisty little dogs, we used to have a miniature one and she'd take anything on.
Boris has gone up in my estimation, especially taking a rescue dog. 🐾

You are missing the point though - terriers are great at ratting - that is going to be one busy dog with all the rats at no.10

Yes... a keen ratter is perfect for number 10.

What EssentialHummus said.

Poor dog.
Dogs, especially rescue puppies, need stability, time, security, patience and training with kindness.
I just can’t see how Johnson is going to provide any of these things, especially at the current time.
It’s a publicity stunt and he should be focusing on the real issues facing him! I hope the pup is treated better, when it inevitably chews and wees on things, than reports told us he treated his girlfriend when she spilt some wine!

I think announcing that he's going to ignore Parliament is probably a worse decision tbh.

I doubt very much that Boris is going to be responsible for the puppy on a day to day basis. I would have thought the puppy will be actually be someone on the staff's dog.

He's fat too.busy to.to.be taking on.a dog.

He’s done it to make himself seem nice and caring. Don’t be fooled.

I do think the one thing BoJo (or indeed, any of that lot) could do to instantly lose any and all public support is get caught being mean to animals. Fuck the country is fine, aim a boot at a pup and it’s instant death at the hands of a baying mob.

The pooch is a publicity stunt.

BJ IS a dog. Or cur, to be more precise.

It's just a ruse to rebrand a dodgy person as a doggy person.

Putin likes being photographed with dogs too, wonder if thats where BJ got the idea from..
