Peanut, an orphaned squirrel who became a social media sensation after being rescued by a New York couple, was euthanized by the State of New York this week.
His crime? Being a squirrel.
“Peanut was an indoor squirrel, not harming anybody,” Mark Longo, one of Peanut’s owners, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/internet-sensation-peanut-the-squirrel-euthanized-by-new-york-state-government" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told TMZ</a> on Friday. “He’s been with us for seven years. Not a single complaint was ever filed,” he added.
You can’t say the same about President Joe Biden’s German Shepherds, Major and Commander, whose history of attacking innocent bystanders has long cast a pall over the White House.
Major, the older of the dogs, “attacked” a Secret Service agent “unprovoked” in 2021, CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/21/politics/commander-biden-secret-service-bites-white-house/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. That incident “caused a breach of trust” between the Bidens and the Secret Service, according to the CNN report. Major was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/08/politics/president-joe-biden-white-house-dogs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent permanently</a> back to Delaware in May 2021, shortly after the incident.
But that was only the beginning. In December 2021, the Bidens <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/welcome-to-the-white-house-bidens-adopt-new-puppy/2915411/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">welcomed</a> Commander to the White House.
That’s when the trouble began.
As of February 2024, Commander had bitten Secret Service personnel in at least 24 separate incidents, CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/21/politics/commander-biden-secret-service-bites-white-house/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Commander reportedly bit <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bad-dog-or-bad-owner-bidens-dog-cant-stop-biting-people-records-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seven people</a> in a four-month stretch of 2023 alone. Biden reportedly witnessed several of Commander’s attacks himself, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-witnessed-his-dog-attack-multiple-secret-service-members-document" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The document also revealed that Secret Service agents would wish each other a “safe shift” before heading to work with Biden and the dog. Commander <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bad-dog-or-bad-owner-bidens-dog-cant-stop-biting-people-records-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> bit one agent so hard, he had to go to the hospital.
“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg attempted to laugh off Commander’s attacks in February, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-host-laughs-off-bidens-bite-happy-dog-what-did-he-see-that-nobody-else-saw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Goldberg joked that perhaps Commander was able to “see” something “that nobody else saw.”
But Commander is so violent, even liberal media outlets have begun to draw attention to the problem. Days after Goldberg’s comments, Slate <a href="https://slate.com/human-interest/2024/02/joe-biden-dog-commander-white-house-secret-service.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> an article headlined “How Is Joe Biden’s Dog Not Dead Yet?”
“Aggressive dogs have been put down for far, far less,” the piece notes.
Aggressive dogs, yes. But also, as we now know, peaceful squirrels.

US President Joe Biden and US First Lady Jill Biden, look at their new dog Commander, after speaking virtually with military service members to thank them for their service and wish them a Merry Christmas, from the South Court Auditorium of the White House in Washington, DC, on December 25, 2021.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/france">French</a> actor who requested for his pet <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dogs">dog</a> to be euthanized and buried with him has been denied by his family as multiple animal activist groups spoke out against the idea.
Alain Delon died on Sunday at the age of 88. The French <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">film star</a> became an international sex symbol beginning in the 1960s, starring in the crime thriller “Purple Noon” that year. He received multiple awards over the course of his career including the César Award for Best Actor for his role in “Notre histoire” (1984).
Delon started making headlines after his death due to a 2018 interview he did with Paris Match magazine. During the conversation, the actor expressed his intentions for his pet.
&#8220;He is my end of life dog. A Belgian shepherd who I love like a child,&#8221; Delon told the outlet at the time, per <a href="https://ew.com/alain-delon-family-rejects-late-actors-wish-to-have-his-dog-euthanized-8699411">Entertainment Weekly</a>. “I’ve had 50 dogs in my life, but I have a special relationship with this one. He misses me when I’m not there.”
The actor added, &#8220;If I die before him I will ask the vet to let us go together. He will inject him so that he dies in my arms. I would rather that than knowing that he would let himself die on my grave with so much suffering.&#8221;
The dog in question is a healthy 10-year-old Belgian malinois named Loubo. Delon had previously buried the remains of at least 35 of his deceased dogs in a cemetery on the grounds of his home, The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/aug/20/alain-delon-family-refuse-to-put-down-dog-actor-wished-to-be-buried-with">reported</a>. The actor’s children mentioned his current pet when announcing their father’s passing.
“Alain-Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, as well as Loubo, are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their father,” their joint statement said.

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
Multiple animal rights organizations spoke out on the matter. The French Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA) <a href="https://x.com/SPA_Officiel/status/1825565691409268958">shared</a> on X, “The life of an animal should not be conditioned by that of a human. The SPA is volunteering to take in his dog and find him a family.”
The Brigitte Bardot Foundation also posted about the issue, writing on Instagram that followers need not worry about Loubo. They shared that Delon’s family had been in touch and confirmed the animal would not be put down as his owner requested.
A spokesperson for the same organization had similar reassurances in their <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/aug/20/alain-delon-family-refuse-to-put-down-dog-actor-wished-to-be-buried-with">statement</a> to The Guardian. “I’ve just had Anouchka Delon on the phone and she has told me that Loubo is part of the family and will be kept. The dog will not be put down.”

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Angie Harmon</a> said she’s still grieving the loss of her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dogs">dog</a>, Oliver, who was shot and killed on March 30 by an Instacart delivery driver. 
The 51-year-old actress told <a href="https://people.com/angie-harmon-opens-up-about-dog-death-suing-instacart-and-driver-exclusive-8648337">People</a> in a new interview that she was upstairs feeding her rescued pet squirrels when she heard the gunshot. She said she heard her 18-year-old daughter scream, &#8220;Oh my God. Oh my God. Did you just shoot our dog!?&#8221;
&#8220;We were running, screaming, crying. I remember thinking how weird — like, why isn&#8217;t he helping? Why is he just watching us like entertainment?&#8221; Harmon said of Instacart worker Christopher Anthoney Reid&#8217;s reaction.
Per the police statement, Reid said &#8220;the dog attacked him and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog.&#8221; 
&#8220;Yeah, I shot your dog. I shot him,&#8221; Harmon alleges Reid said at the time. The actress claimed, &#8220;He just kept saying that over and over and over again. He wasn&#8217;t agitated. He wasn&#8217;t afraid. He wasn&#8217;t mad. He wasn&#8217;t sorry. He wasn&#8217;t helping us. He wasn&#8217;t anything. I was like, &#8216;What are you talking about?'&#8221;
She also alleges that Reid didn’t appear injured while questioned by law enforcement. &#8220;But he didn&#8217;t have a mark on him. He didn&#8217;t have a scratch; he didn&#8217;t have torn jeans. He didn&#8217;t have puncture marks. Most importantly, he didn&#8217;t ask for help. He says he was attacked multiple times by Ollie and that he had to kick him off. But he didn&#8217;t even ask for a Band-Aid or an ambulance.&#8221;
The actress went on to describe taking the injured animal to the emergency vet.
&#8220;I just couldn&#8217;t breathe. I couldn&#8217;t get up, I couldn&#8217;t do anything, and I couldn&#8217;t help him as much as I kept trying, I kept failing,&#8221; Harmon told the outlet. &#8220;When I went in there, they were doing CPR on him, and they did that for 7 to 13 minutes. And then everything just got really still. There I was watching him covered in his blood.&#8221;
The actress is suing both Instacart and Reid, alleging that he was delivering items using someone else’s account, which the company does not permit. People noted that Harmon is seeking $25,000 for damages, accusing Reid of trespassing, conversion, negligence, negligent supervision/hiring, invasion of privacy, and negligent misrepresentation.
&#8220;It&#8217;s just so unnecessary. If this man was afraid of dogs, why is he a delivery person hiding under a false identity, carrying a gun?&#8221; the “Rizzoli &amp; Isles” alum told the outlet. &#8220;If he&#8217;s so scared of dogs, why wouldn&#8217;t he have pepper spray, an air horn or a stick? There&#8217;s no way that this man was in such bodily danger that he needed a gun to shoot our 43-pound dog.&#8221;
She said now she and her daughters are still suffering following the incident. &#8220;We&#8217;re all in therapy for PTSD. There is no reason for anybody to go through this, none,&#8221; Harmon said.

&#8220;Everything just stopped. It&#8217;s like even your brain stops,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And I&#8217;ve just done a crazy cleaning of my entire home, scrubbing the floors. I installed a new alarm system. My therapist said, &#8216;When you go through trauma at your home, you get rid of all the things that are unnecessary,&#8217; and that&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;ve been doing because I&#8217;m trying to make my home feel safe again because it doesn&#8217;t right now.&#8221;
&#8220;This is horribly wrong. I feel neglected, unsafe and feel like people and their pets don&#8217;t mean anything. It&#8217;s how we all feel. The fact that [Reid] just got away with it and that Instacart is like, &#8216;Oh, well, we&#8217;ll shut his account down.&#8217; It&#8217;s not enough,&#8221; Harmon added.
&#8220;I&#8217;m still bawling and crying. I can feel myself shaking. It&#8217;s difficult — unfathomable — but we can&#8217;t just sit back and do nothing. We can&#8217;t just sit by and take our rebate from Instacart and say, &#8216;Okay, thank you.&#8217; This is like a public service announcement,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I mean, people need to know that this is what could happen.&#8221;

Zoogoers in China became upset after discovering that an advertised Panda exhibit actually just contained dogs that were painted white and black.
It happened at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu Province on May 1, when people went to see what was advertised as a new exhibit of pandas and instead saw painted Chow Chow dogs, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/05/06/lifestyle/zoogoers-outraged-to-discover-panda-exhibit-was-actually-dogs-dyed-black-and-white/?utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">New York Post</a> reported. Photos and videos of the fake pandas have since gone <a href="https://x.com/MerGarza/status/1787822776633454768">viral</a>.
Zoo officials reportedly dyed the faces of the dogs black and trimmed their hair to make them look like the popular bamboo-eating bears. They then put the fake pandas in the exhibit every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., drawing in people to come and see these little &#8220;bears,&#8221; per the sanctuary’s staffers. 
When zoo officials were asked why they had tricked people into thinking the dogs were pandas, one zoo rep replied, “There are no panda bears at the zoo and we wanted to do this as a result.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Zoogoers, who thought they were going to see pandas but instead saw painted dogs, then accused the zoo officials of animal cruelty for what they had done to the pups.
One spokesperson hit back at the criticism and said, “People also dye their hair. Natural dye can be used on dogs if they have long fur.”
<a href="https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1787567909687996919">Social media users</a> seemed less upset about the pup cosplay after seeing the pictures, suggesting the dogs looked cute.
“They are very small to run that fast! I think they’re lovely,” one person wrote.
Another added, “I think they’re cute,” said another.
While a third wrote, “Well that’s an extreme way to get your dogs cared for while you’re at work lol.” 
Another person took a page out of the left&#8217;s playbook on gender ideology and joked, “Did anyone ask if the dogs were identifying as pandas? Dogs have rights as well.”
Last year, a zoo in the eastern province of Zhejiang went viral after images surfaced of a sun bear standing on its hind legs for a very long time, looking similar to a human in a costume wearing baggy pants, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/sun-bears-zoo-china-denies-humans-costume-rcna97477">NBC News</a> reported.
“Some people think I stand like a human, and it seems that you don’t understand me that much,” Hangzhou Zoo wrote on its official social media account from the perspective of the bear in the video, named Angela.
“Previously, some tourists thought that I was too tiny to be a bear,” the message added. “I have to emphasize again: I am a Malayan sun bear! Not a black bear! Not a dog! A sun bear!”

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Angie Harmon</a> claims that an Instacart delivery driver killed her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dogs">dog</a>. 
The 51-year-old shared the story via Instagram on Monday. Her post included multiple images of her dog, a German Shepherd/beagle mixed breed.
“This Easter weekend a man delivering groceries for Instacart shot &amp; killed our precious Oliver,” the caption said. “He got out of his car, delivered the food &amp; THEN shot our dog. Our ring camera was charging in the house, which he saw &amp; then knew he wasn’t being recorded. The police let him go b/c he claimed ‘self defense.’ He did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his pants torn.”

Harmon continued, describing the man further. “He was shopping under a woman’s identity named Merle… the pic is on my story,” she wrote. “He shot our dog with my daughters &amp; myself at home &amp; just kept saying, ‘yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah I did.’”
“We are completely traumatized &amp; beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved boy &amp; family member,” the “Rizzoli &amp; Isles” actress concluded. “#RIP OLLIE.”

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police also issued a statement to the outlet, confirming Harmon’s claim that the delivery person said he had been attacked by the dog and retaliated by shooting the animal.

&#8220;The driver told officers that a dog attacked him while he was at the residence and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog. Another dog was present at the residence but did not attack,&#8221; a rep from CMPD Public Affairs said. 
As of now, the driver is not facing any charges. 
Harmon discussed her feelings further on Instagram stories. &#8220;To the man who took Ollie away from us: your actions are despicable and inexcusable,&#8221; the post said. &#8220;You&#8217;ve not only robbed us of a beloved member of our family but you&#8217;ve also traumatized us beyond measure.&#8221;
&#8220;The fact that someone could commit such a heartless act is beyond comprehension to me and I&#8217;m devastated that I didn&#8217;t get to say goodbye to him,&#8221; the “Law &amp; Order alum added.

Actress Angie Harmon Accuses Instacart Deliveryman Of Shooting And Killing Her Dog

Whoopi Goldberg laughed off the most recent report on President Joe Biden&#8217;s bite-happy German Shepherd, Commander, which the Secret Service has now cited in at least 24 separate instances involving bites.
Goldberg struggled to even read through the entire report without laughing about it and then immediately joked that perhaps the dog was reacting to something that people were unable to see.

&#8220;A Secret Service report was just released &#8230; about a Biden family member &#8230;&#8221; Goldberg began, clearly struggling not to laugh as she added, &#8220;&#8230; who&#8217;s caused a lot of controversy at the White House: their dog. His name is Commander. The report found that there were at least 24 incidents of him biting folks.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, it makes you wonder. What did he see that nobody else saw?&#8221; Goldberg continued, putting a photo of the dog on the screen behind the table.
The audience responded to the photo, prompting co-host Sara Haines to say, &#8220;You must have missed the 24-bite part of this story when you &#8216;awwwww.'&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s like, &#8216;I know you got something in your pocket! I don&#8217;t know what it is, you can say it&#8217;s your hand,'&#8221; Goldberg continued in mocking tones. &#8220;&#8216;Let me check!&#8217; And he checked, and it was the guy&#8217;s hand.&#8221;
Co-host Joy Behar continued with the joke, asking whether it would be possible for Republicans to find a way to blame Commander&#8217;s behavior on Hunter Biden.
Haines cut in again, noting that often one bite incident was enough to force owners to have a dog put down. &#8220;How does it last 24 bites? Cause you have a lot of one-bite rules in states.&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> German shepherd has attacked U.S. Secret Service (USSS) personnel dozens of times over the course of Biden&#8217;s first term in office.
CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/21/politics/commander-biden-secret-service-bites-white-house/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that USSS records that it obtained showed that agents were attacked at least 24 times by Commander and that personnel have had to change how they do their jobs so they are not attacked. Commander replaced the Biden&#8217;s older dog, Major, which also violently attacked people at the White House.
The Biden family has subjected hundreds of White House workers to the prospect that they could be attacked any day by the vicious dog, CNN said, noting that it&#8217;s become a &#8220;serious workplace issue.&#8221;
The disturbing number of attacks that staff have been subjected to does not include numerous additional incidents that CNN has previously highlighted that involve &#8220;executive residence staff and other White House workers.&#8221;
In the 400 pages that CNN obtained was a warning from personnel that they feared that the dog&#8217;s violent and erratic behavior would lead to &#8220;something worse&#8221; happening to others.
A source within the administration claimed that Biden felt “awful” and “heartbroken” over what has happened, even though the attacks happened for months. Another source claimed that the Bidens &#8220;care deeply about the safety of those who work at the White House.&#8221;
Some of the attacks have been severe and could have potentially led to serious outcomes had medical treatment not been rendered quickly.

The report outlined one such attack from July 2023 when a special agent was providing security at Biden&#8217;s beach home and thought that Commander was on a leash in the backyard.
“In the background SA [redacted] heard the voice of what believes to be FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden [redacted] yelling [redacted quote]. Commander ran toward the direction of post [redacted] booth and bit SA [redacted] in the left forearm. Causing a severe deep open wound. As result of the attack SA [redacted] started to lose a significant amount of blood from [redacted] arm,” the report said.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-defense" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Defense</a> official was recently charged with facilitating a dogfighting ring that allegedly executed some of the dogs that survived the fights with jumper cables. 
Frederick Douglass Moorefield Jr., 62, of Arnold, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maryland</a>, the former deputy chief information officer for the Secretary of Defense’s office, was charged last month alongside 49-year-old Mario Damon Flythe of Glen Burnie, Maryland, with promoting and furthering animal fighting venture, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/two-anne-arundel-county-men-including-department-defense-deputy-chief-charged" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Department of Justice. 
According to the DOJ, Moorefield and Flythe used an encrypted messaging system to discuss how to train dogs to fight and coordinate the violent contests. Moorefield’s operation was known as “Geehad Kennels,” while Flythe’s was “Razor Sharp Kennels,” authorities said.
The affidavit against them says they discussed betting on the fights, ways to hide their behavior from law enforcement, and dogs that died. Both individuals&#8217; homes were searched on September 6, and investigators took a number of items that appeared to be connected to the alleged crimes. 
“Following the execution of these warrants, twelve dogs were recovered and seized by the federal government,” the DOJ said. “Law enforcement also recovered veterinary steroids, training schedules, a carpet that appeared to be stained with blood, and a weighted dog vest with a patch reading ‘Geehad Kennels.’ In addition, law enforcement officers seized a device consisting of an electrical plug and jumper cables, which the affidavit alleges is consistent with devices used to execute dogs that lose dogfights.”
Two dead dogs were found in a plastic bag just six miles from Moorefield’s home in November 2018 by Anne Arundel County Animal Patrol. They had wounds indicating dogfighting, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/03/us/pentagon-dog-fighting-ring.html#:~:text=The%20Pentagon%20said%20in%20a,Tim%20Gorman%20said." target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to court documents. Mail addressed to Moorefield’s home was reportedly discovered in the plastic bag. 
“We can confirm that the individual is no longer in the workplace, but we cannot comment further on an individual personnel matter,” Lt. Commander Tim Gorman <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/03/us/pentagon-dog-fighting-ring.html#:~:text=The%20Pentagon%20said%20in%20a,Tim%20Gorman%20said.">said</a> on Monday.

As Task and Purpose <a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/pentagon-official-dog-fighting-ring/">reported</a>, Moorefield&#8217;s position appears to have been filled by Kevin Mulvihill, who is <a href="https://dodcio.defense.gov/About-DoD-CIO/bios/mulvihill.aspx">now</a> listed as the acting deputy chief information officer. 
Both individuals charged could face a maximum of five years in prison if convicted.

It was once said that there are no such things as bad dogs, only bad owners. That sentiment could help explain why President Joe Biden&#8217;s dogs can&#8217;t stop biting people.
On Tuesday, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/biden-dog-commander-bit-or-threatened-10-people-sent-one-to-hospital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Biden&#8217;s dog &#8220;Commander&#8221; went on a chomping spree and bit seven people in the four-month period from September 2022 to January 2023. In one ghastly situation, Commander reportedly sent a Secret Service agent to the hospital. Commander, of course, was the dog that the Bidens brought in as the replacement dog for &#8220;Major,&#8221; who was also known for sinking his fangs into members of Biden&#8217;s staff.
The report, compiled with information from Judicial Watch, offers a damning glimpse into the sort of people that the Bidens are.
“These shocking records raise fundamental questions about President Biden and the Secret Service,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said to The Post.
“This is a special sort of craziness and corruption where a president would allow his dog to repeatedly attack and bite Secret Service and White House personnel. And rather than protect its agents, the Secret Service tried to illegally hide documents about the abuse of its agents and officers by the Biden family,” he added.
According to records, one Secret Service agent commented, &#8220;What a joke … if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle,&#8221; after his colleague was bitten on the arm and leg.
As for Biden being a bad owner, readers might remember that time in December 2020 when Biden admitted to trying to chase around and pull the tail of Major while in a bath towel. He made the confession because he hurt his foot in the process.
&#8220;What happened was I got out of the shower. I got a dog and anybody who’s been around my house knows — dropped, little pup dropped a ball in front of me. And for me to grab the ball,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/03/biden-says-he-broke-foot-after-shower-when-he-pulled-dogs-tail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN. &#8220;And I’m walking through this little alleyway to get to the bedroom. And I grabbed the ball like this and he ran. And I’m joking, running after him and grab his tail. And what happened was that he slid on a throw rug. And I tripped on the rug he slid on. That’s what happened. Oh man, not a very exciting story.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1690368573946000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0SC9MF9lhNsKkAePnLU71p">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
It&#8217;s not a very exciting story, but it is a weird one. Come to think of it, it sounds more like abuse than anything else. Who pulls a dog&#8217;s tail?
Mike Davis of The Article Three Project aptly summarized the current state of Biden&#8217;s White House:
&#8220;1. 53-year-old loser son and foreign-corruption bagman is frequent overnight guest 2. But refuse to acknowledge 4-year-old granddaughter 3. Allow untrained dogs to repeatedly attack federal workers,&#8221; he tweeted.
&#8220;The Bidens are trash,&#8221; he said bluntly.

Country singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen">Morgan Wallen</a>’s two-year-old son Indigo was recently rushed to the hospital after being attacked by a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dogs">dog</a>.
The toddler had to get stitches after his mother <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">KT Smith</a>’s dog reportedly lashed out on Sunday. The Instagram influencer shared updates on her social media platform, including updating fans about her son’s condition and stating that she had no plans to euthanize the animal.

In her Instagram stories on Monday, Smith said Indigo was “OK,” but could have a small scar after the attack, per <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/06/20/morgan-wallens-son-rushed-to-er-after-exs-dog-attacks-childs-face/">Page Six</a>. 
“Yesterday, he bit Indigo in the face, and [Indigo] had to have stitches, and we spent yesterday morning at the emergency room,” the influencer wrote. Smith went on to describe how she adopted the Great Pyrenees breed dog, named Legend, in April 2022. She said they “kind of saved each other.”
“Since then, we have been looking for options, and I just couldn’t bring myself to what everyone else says and what you’re supposed to do, apparently — what the world tells you to do — is to put the dog down because they are aggressive,” Smith wrote. 
Smith said she’s “gone back and forth with that” but ultimately decided her dog “does not deserve that because he is wonderful and could do really great with a family who doesn’t have small children.”
“I know I don’t want him to go to a kill shelter … and shelters are full,” Smith said in justification of her choice not to euthanize. “This will be all over the place, and I’ll also start off by saying I never wanted to bring this to social media, but he deserves better,” she said.

The influencer said she no longer planned to keep Legend in her home. “I’m getting Indigo back home tomorrow, and he has to be gone by then,” she shared in stories. 
“He is not aggressive toward adults at all. You can get in his face, and you can do anything, and he’s still such a good dog,” Smith wrote.
Wallen has not publicly commented on the situation. He dated Smith from 2016 until 2019, the outlet noted.

Morgan Wallen’s 2-Year-Old Son Taken To ER After Dog Bites His Face

“SNL” actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-davidson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Davidson</a> shared some harsh words with an executive from the animal rights organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/peta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PETA</a>) after being scolded for purchasing a new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dogs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dog</a> from a pet store rather than adopting one.
The 29-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/comedian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comedian</a> left an explicit voicemail on Monday for Daphna Nachminovitch, the senior vice president of PETA&#8217;s Cruelty Investigations Department, after she released a statement about Davidson shopping for a dog.
&#8220;Thank you so much for making comments publicly that I didn&#8217;t adopt a dog,&#8221; Davidson said in the recording, per a report from <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/pete-davidson-lashes-peta-amid-puppy-purchase-backlash-f-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>. &#8220;I just want to let you know I&#8217;m severely allergic to dogs, so I have to get a specific breed. I&#8217;m only not allergic to Cavapoos, and those type of dogs.” 
&#8220;And my mom&#8217;s f***ing dog, who&#8217;s two years old, died a week prior, and we&#8217;re all so sad,” the actor continued. “So I had to get a specific dog. So why don&#8217;t you do your research before f***ing create[ing] news story for people because you&#8217;re a boring, tired c***. F*** you. And suck my d***.&#8221;
The Cavapoo is a mixed breed that combines the Cavalier King Charles spaniel and poodle. It’s known for being “hypoallergenic” and is supposedly non-irritating for dog owners with allergies.
Davidson’s friend had previously posted on social media that the actor’s dog, Henry, had died just ahead of the “Bupkis” premiere day on May 4. Davidson and his girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, were later photographed shopping for a new dog at the Citipups pet store in New York City.
This led to PETA releasing a statement: &#8220;It’s tragic that Pete didn’t seek out a borough-born mutt from a city animal shelter, because a scrappy New Yorker with charm, personality, and unconventional handsomeness could have been his perfect match. Since shelters in New York and across the country are overflowing with homeless animals, PETA urges Pete to show some big heart energy by adopting, not shopping, in the future.&#8221; 
Davidson replied via his own statement to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/06/06/pete-davidson-leaves-peta-unhinged-voice-mail-new-dog-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ,</a> saying that he initially sought to &#8220;adopt a specific hypoallergenic dog&#8221; and that he was told &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t an option, and if it was, it was rare.&#8221;
The “SNL” alum also said he was sorry for his harshly worded voicemail but explained how he spoke out of grief. 
&#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen my mom and sister cry like that in over 20 years. I was trying to cheer up my family. I was already upset that the store had filmed me without my permission or acknowledgment. Then this organization (PETA) made a public example of us, making our grieving situation worse. I am upset. It was a poor choice of words. I shouldn&#8217;t have said what I said, but I am not sorry for standing up for myself and my family.&#8221;
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-7854">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
PETA responded, insisting that Davidson could have found the breed he wanted at a shelter and shouldn&#8217;t have visited a pet store.
&#8220;Our hearts go out to Pete and the rest of the Davidson family for the loss of their beloved dog, but there’s no excuse for promoting the puppy mill industry by buying a dog from a pet store when millions of wonderful dogs await loving homes in animal shelters. Anyone set on finding a dog of a specific breed can go to shelters, where an estimated 25% of dogs are ‘purebreds,’ check with adoption groups, or search Petfinder online,&#8221; PETA wrote.
&#8220;Citipups, the store where Pete purchased his dog, has come under fire for allegedly selling sick puppies who have died prematurely. We know Pete cares about animals and was trying to do a nice thing for his family, but he has millions of impressionable fans and his choices matter—so the next time he’s ready to welcome an animal into the family, we hope he makes the compassionate choice to adopt, not buy.&#8221;

Pete Davidson Curses Out PETA Exec In Furious Voicemail

Pope Francis, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/catholic-church" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Vicar of Christ</a>, has a message for all you &#8220;Dog Moms&#8221;: Having a dog does not make you a mother.
Despite the fact that canines have been domesticated for 30,000 years, it has been a trend in the West recently for women of all ages to spoil their pets rotten while taking an excessive amount of pride for doing so — even going so far as to treat them as actual children and declare themselves &#8220;moms&#8221; because they now look after man&#8217;s best friend.
The pope&#8217;s comments came on Friday during a conversation with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni — who is one hell of a woman in her own right (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/absolutely-fake-news-on-cnn-giorgia-melonis-political-rival-shuts-down-fascism-fears" target="_blank" rel="noopener">see here</a>). The two were discussing Europe&#8217;s dwindling birthrates, and Francis used two anecdotes to explain how that is impacting the continent.
&#8220;Two weeks ago, my secretary was in the square and a mother came in with a child&#8217;s [stroller&#8217;],&#8221; he explained, &#8220;A tender priest approached to bless the child &#8230; It was a little dog!&#8221;
Then, he shared another story. &#8220;At the Ash Wednesday audience, I was saying goodbye, and I arrived in front of a woman, more or less 50 years old &#8230; I greet the lady, and she opens a bag, and says, &#8216;Bless my child!&#8217; A little dog!&#8221;
Francis, who is sometimes known for his short temper, had had enough.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have patience, and I scolded the lady. &#8216;Madam, so many children are hungry, and you with this little dog!'&#8221;
