Quite appalling this faux pas. But not surprising if you scan the history of various newspapers. Such blunders do happen when they have to. I can relate to this as I have worked in several newspapers and am guilty of some very embarrassing blunders. Thanks for sharing this.

that is just carelss work...
I hope they learn to take a little more care.

As to the story, it is heart breaking for all of them - including the dogs, how badly warped or tortured were their characters that two members of such an affectionate species would do something so horrible?

Sign of the times maybe
where journalists and sub-editors are just not as slick as they used to be?
