The dog is kept in another room, only brought forward for kids who want him, to avoid scaring other kids, who may be afraid of dogs.

I feel so much better after reading this. I was really stressed out from all the other depressing news. I need an animal post every once in a while :)
To: Innovative
Nice story, I’m sure, but I will NEVER give Huf’n’Puf a click.
