Good boy, bad boy

Today, I came home to a half-shaved dog and a laughing third grader. FML

Poor dog :( Hope he didn't hurt the dog while shaving it at least.

I see a future hair stylist... or comedian.

Teach him a lesson. You're the parent, (I'm assuming.) so show him who's boss. He doesn't need to do things like that. He could have hurt himself, or the dog. Punish him. As for the dog, it should be fine. Just keep it out of cold weather. The hair will grow back.

The hair might actually not grow back... Double coated dogs like huskies and malamutes if cut have a high chance of not growing back or only growing some wispy hairs. Some Pomeranians and other breeds like them, their hair some times doesn't grow back as well.

I don't know much about dogs, so thank you for clearing that up! I'm still not sure why I've been thumbed down, though. I offered advice based on my views and opinions.

Eh that happens on the internet. You post opinions and others don't agree but everyone has a right to it no matter how unreasonable or annoying. Hope I didn't bother you either.

@66- I worked with a dog groomer and in her experience, the only time a dog's hair doesn't grow back properly is if they have a thyroid problem. Like i said, this is just her experience but she's been grooming for 25 years. We clipped down my mini Australian Shepherd (who has a double coat) way down for the summer, and her coat is growing back in perfectly, and just as soft as before. :)

Unless he hurt the dog, I don't see this as an FML or a YDI. I've had dogs that got shaved on a regular basis for fur upkeep. I do question how he got the shaver; other than that no punishment needed.

Thank god he didn't hurt the dog, or himself

Who was NOT watching the third grader. Kids find mischief but someone should have confiscated shaver before dog was shaved. Poor dog but have to love kids sense of humour

Were they both yours, or have things taken a seriously Twin Peaks turn?

Yes. Plot twist: OP doesn't have a child or a dog.
