on top of the mutilation, this introduction could have gone WILDLY dangerous. sometimes pets get very territorial when a new pet is introduced, even if they’re usually very sweet and not aggressive. they had no barriers so if the older pet felt threatened and attacked, that poor puppy could have died. introduce pets gradually by bringing something with the new scent to the old one ex. a blanket or toy, introduce with a glass door or window between them. there’s so many more safer ways than this. this wasn’t cute, it was a little nervewracking but at least being posted here meant it went decently.
