and while our puppy was playing she acidentally scratched my daughter with her teeth...just a scratch....its not deep...and my puppies shot isnt complete yet...how deep does the cut have to be before you can get rabies?
My daughter was playing with our puppy.my puppy is 6 wks old.?
I wouldn't be concerened about Rabies. I would just watch for infection. From what i remember my vet telling me one time was dogs don't get any type of rabies until they are 6 months old because of the mother antibodies in their milk. Please don't worry too much. just clean area good, and watch so it doesn't become red and inflammed :)
Reply:How likely is it that your 6 week old pup has been exposed to rabies? I'd say not likely.
Disinfect the scratch, and your daughter should be fine.
If you'd really like to put your mind at ease, call and get your vet's opinion.
Reply:seems young to have a puppy. i mean 6 weeks. you must have just gotten her a couple days ago...i hope. Anyway if the mother was current on her rabies shots you don't have to worry. The rabies antibodies get passed through the mothers milk to the puppy and they will be fine until they are old enough to recieve thier immunization. Your daughter can't get rabies unless your puppy has rabies and you would realize if something was wrong with your puppy
Reply:I guarantee your puppy doesn't have rabies. But to make you feel better - watch your puppy for the next 10 days. If he acts sick at all (not just the stereotypical rabid drooling), bring him to the vet. If your puppy doesn't have any symptoms of rabies within 10 days, then even if he had it he couldn't have transmitted it. But once again, I guarantee he doesn't have rabies.
Reply:Your daughter will be fine. Keep the scratch cleaned with antiseptic cream.
You didn't mention your daughters age so I am wondering how young she might be. If she is really young it will be good to teach her some ways to play with the pup to keep both your daughter and your pup safe from harm.
I'm really glad you have not over-reacted to the scratch. Puppies will bite and play for many more weeks yet.
Hope you have many many years of fun times with your new pet.
Reply:there is no risk to your daughter, puppies don't get rabies unless they are exposed to it.
any broken skin, when broken with the teeth of a rabid dog will transfer rabies to a human being.
I think the biggest thing you need to worry about is pin worms if your pup hasn't been wormed yet, although your daughter contracting this is pretty rare in the circumstances you describe.
good thing to consider though so get the shots in time and you will be fine.
Reply:I doubt your puppy has rabies, but just to be on the safe side, I would disinfect it with some soap and some warm water. If needed, add some Neosporin and a Band-Aid. Also, as someone else said, if you really want to put your mind at ease ask your veterinarian.
Reply:Sorry, but puppies can't get rabies unless they have been exposed to it. Unless your dog has been around wild animals or diseased, uncared for dogs (shame on people that do that!) there's about a 0% chance that he has it. I doubt that your dog has rabies, and beginning shots protect just as much as the once-a-year rabies shots. The reason you keep going for shots when they're a puppy is for continuing disease resistance that first year. They're still protected just as much.
So, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. As long as you keep up the puppy's shots and take care of him you're fine. Stop worrying, go give the pup a treat, put a Band-Aid on the kid, and go have fun! :)
Reply:Don't worry about it. The puppy is still protected from its mother's rabies shot. I am sure you haven't had the puppy out in area where it would be exposed to animals such as skunks or rats which are notorious for carrying rabies.
It is no wonder the mother dogs want to ween those puppies as soon as possible. Those puppy teeth are just like needles.

Our month old cockerspanie puppy is very agressive when he has a bone, how do I put a stop to this behaviour?
I love our cockerspaniel puppy "charlie" to bits and I want to keep his teeth and gums healthy and clean so i give him raw bones, but once its in his posession you just cant go near him for hours its like he has a split personality. He wont let anyone near him, in fear that we will take his bone, even once he has come inside and the bone is out side he stil show aggressive behaviour when approached. Charlie is normally so friendly and cuddly.
Raw bones are banned in our house for now, as that seems to triggetr the aggressive behaviour, I have found that puppy pedigree denta bones work well as they clean the teeth but he doesn't get aggressive towards us.
I am very concerned about this behaviour and I want to know why he would have acted like this and how I can prevent it in future. Please help.
Our month old cockerspanie puppy is very agressive when he has a bone, how do I put a stop to this behaviour?
Hi there. Bones, especially raw ones, are considered "high value" to a dog. They are an extra special treat that Charlie only gets every now and again -- they look good, taste good, and Charlie sees absolutely NO reason why he should give his fantastic prize up for you. After all, how would you feel if you were eating your favorite bar of chocolate and someone snatched it away with no warning or compromise? you wouldn't be happy, would you? well, Charlie is doing the same.
The best way to combat possessiveness is the show the dog that you are no threat to his food. I like to compromise and here is how...
"What you got there, Charlie? you got a tasty bone? good dog. Lookie, want a piece of ham? this also tastes good."
*Charlie drops bone*
*You pick up bone, give the dog a treat, and give the bone straight back*...dog learns that by dropping the bone, the bone is not going to magically disappear, and the hand that can take it away is also the provider of tasty treats.
Hand feeding him can also help him associate you being no threat to his food.
Best of luck!
Reply:Just let him get on enjoying his bone , if you have another do or dog visitor make sure they have a bone too , your doggie sounds delightful springers always are indulge him why would anyone want to take it your probably having a good meat dish for dinner anyway arent you ?
Reply:You need to teach him who's the real boss. When they are little, it's the most important time in training. When he acts aggressive, hold him down to the floor, by his neck. Like what a mother dog would do to teach her child manners. Do not let him 'up' until he stops fighting you. That's his way of 'giving up' and letting you have dominination over him. You don't need to hurt him, just bruise his ego by holding him down when he does something you don't like. A stern "NO" while holding him, also helps get the message across.
Reply:We have four Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and they love Denta sticks too. They also get given hide chews. All of them would be given the chew and have it taken off them. They would then get the chew given back.
Whilst this seems mean, it does teach the dog respect. If any of them start to growl over a chew, the chew is taken off them and they get growled at by us.
Try this with the Denta sticks and then build up to the bones.
Reply:What you need to do is get some training discs. They act as aversive stimuli without causing any harm to the dog.
put a piece of food on the floor e.g. cheese, and when he goes for it throw the discs at the floor next to him (not AT him!!) he will quickly jump backwards... if he doesnt get the point after one trial do it until he does. eventually when the cheese is on the floor he wont go for it.
Then try putting the bone on the floor (dont give any of these things to him and then chuck the discs as thats a confusing message) and see if he goes for it. it should generalise but he may need a few repetitions of the disc throwing. that will give him the message that you're giving him this food and that it isnt just his possession to do with as he pleases. then GIVE him the bone dont let him take it. This should give him the message that this is your food that you're sharing with him. Try taking it off him after a few minutes and pretending to knaw on it... will reinforce the message, as will hand feeding him occasionally.
In the wild the older dogs give this message by putting a bone near the pup, then growling when they go for it to show that it is theirs. the discs cost about £4 from petsathome but keys work too!

Puppy teething?
at what age (months) do dogs SPECIFICALLY teeth?
i dont know what to do, cos my puppy is biting EVERYTHING even our pants now.
and its about 6 months
i dont know if i should punish it, or what?
Puppy teething?
Six months (4-7) is about right for your dog to be getting his adult teeth. Chewing is very common during this stage but be careful that it does not become a learned behaviour.
This is often a time that periodontal disease sets in for dogs so it is very important to provide lots of raw meaty bones for your dog to chew on. These will clean and floss the new teeth, massage sore gums and scrape any plaque or tarter of the teeth.
Raw hides and other chew toys have been linked to choking and bowel obstructions so be very careful or better yet stick to the real thing!
Reply:Puppies start to teeth at about 3 months and are done by 6-8 months. I'd say that your dog needs some training not to bite. Biting is how one dog plays with another when they are puppies. Yours must learn that you are not a puppy.
Reply:Puppies start teething approx 14-16 weeks of age.. Punish the dog for teething?? You can give the dogs lots of appropriate things to chew..
Reply:puppies are like babies, they need something to chew on to help cut teeth. how about getting a chew toy for it
Reply:They start losing their teeth at about 3 1/2 months, until their about 7 1/2 months...sometimes a little longer. They start with the incisors (front teeth), then the canines (the "fangs"), then pre-molars, then molars. A lot of the teeth are swallowed, which is fine...
I suggest when the pup starts chewing on something in appropriate, move the pup away from what it's chewing on, and give it something appropriate to chew on (like a teething toy, or some other toy).
Reply:well u have to teach them not to do it...by saying no in a firm voice and u can buy a hard toy for him or her or just wet a washcloth and freeze it and give it to the dog to chew on
Reply:i think when its really little ours is 11 weeks and he's biting everything too. I mean he bites and eats everything....shirts.......... our other dog......hair..... face.....and he even bit my eyeball!! I guess that you get it some teething bones or toys or something. when our pup chews something we don't want him to then we yell at him and pop him. we just distract him with a toy usually. good luck with your pup.
Reply:well Around 4 to 5 months but to control it I heard you can Make some chicken soup (low sodium variety or make it yourself) ice cubes and give them to the puppy.
Soak a clean rag in water, wring it out and then freeze it (rolling it up helps) and give it to your puppy to chew on.
Soften the kibble a bit with water.
Discourage biting on your arm or hand for comfort.
Puppies lose their teeth in a distinct pattern first the small front teeth come out
its a little process hope this help But also don't Beat your dog to punish him/her Ok

Puppy teething?
i got a lab puppy for christmas (she's now 8 weeks old).... anyway she bites on me and i'm not sure if she's just being a puppy or if shes teething..... is she already geting new teeth?
Puppy teething?
Both. Playing and teething. Freeze an old washcloth and play with that. If will make them feel better and spare your fingers. :) g/l
Reply:I wouldn't think that she's teething at 8 weeks. She's just mouthing.
Reply:It is a little of both. She will be getting and loosing teeth for the next year. Just give her something to chew on other than you.
Reply:Both. Shes a pup and very playful maybe you could get some chew toys to play with and help with the teething process
Reply:It is a puppy therefore very playful as well as cutting a few more teeth. Soon your pup will lose those teeth and get adult teeth. The biting will continue at least until then... more then likely it will last longer because that is just how they play.
Reply:Your pup is being a puppy and teething ,,get Him/her a rawhide chew toy ,,and always remember that the pup is going to get big ,,and what you let it do now it will expect to be able to do when its grown ,,,, Don't let the pup chew on you !! Give it something else to do.
Reply:Dr. Ian Dunbar - an innovative pioneer in dog psychology and training wrote this article on why your dog does this and why its important that your dog does this NOW instead of later. http://www.jersey.net/~mountaindog/berne...
She's just being a puppy and now is the most important time to start teaching her that mouthing is only ok until she bites too hard. When puppy bites too hard - make an OUCH and remove yourself from playing with puppy. Return a few minutes later to continue play and when puppy bites too hard again - repeat. It is imperative that you go back to puppy and play again so that she understands that it is the strength of the bite that is causing the play to stop.
This will cause your dog to learn that our human skin is weak and that when playing with humans she needs to sissy down your bite force :) Read the whole article, its a GREAT read!
Reply:You should never let a puppy think it's ok to bite. From day one you need to let her know that mouthing---even if it is gentle and DOES NOT HURT is not acceptable. Why? Because it hurts, and because you don't want this dog getting bigger and continuing to do it. When she starts mouthing your hands tell her no, or say "Ah Ah" and offer a chew toy or something else that is ok for her to chew on. You will have to do this over and over again, but do not let this pup do anything now that you do not want her to do as an adult.
Reply:She is teething i found that if you take a sock of yours and tie it in a knot and give it to your puppy for about two months and every time you see her choowing on somthig you bring that to her and she will soon only choo on that. I have a Yellow Lab 3years old There great dogs. good luck.
Reply:all puppies do it
a good idea is to go 'oww' in a really high pitched voice to sound like one of her siblings to no it hurts (although it doesnt)
with my dog when he bites (even if hes just playing) we say
'nice boy ' in a high sorta tone and he stops
so just try a few things out to see wat works
dogs are great awsome pets
Reply:Puppies use their teeth/mouth like humans use their hands. They chew because they are teething, they bite because they want to play, they bite when they want your attention or are greeting you or someone. They bite if they just want interaction!
Never allow your dog to bite. If they do, ignore them or give them a time out! You can redirect your dog, by throwing a toy. You can yelp if your dog bites you. You can offer your dog a chew toy. But always correct the behavior if they are just doing it for attention or want to continue to play!
Reply:I think she's just being a puppy, i can't remember my puppy coming home at 8weeks and instantly leaving me teeth! If you watch puppies with their littermates, they use their mouths a lot. And when they get older, they play with their mouths too. She sees you as part of her pack and her mouthing you is part of her development. Obviously, those little pin-teeth hurt! In my experience of having a very mouthy puppy, you need to teach her the acceptable level; this will allow her to grow up knowing her strength and being able to control it, as Dunbar says.
Saying ouch, getting up and walking away when she does it too hard, is a great way of showing her that if she plays too hard, she gets ignored (puppies hate that!) I've managed, using this technique, to teach my puppy the "play nice" command, where if he gets too hyper while playing and forgets his manners, a "play nice" will remind him and he licks me instead.

Is it normal for a puppys teeth to fall out?
My puppy is 5 months old. I just noticed a tooth fell out. Do they grow new teeth like we do?
Is it normal for a puppys teeth to fall out?
Yes, it is normal. I didn't realize this with my puppy and was scared when I noticed blood on his fur. I checked him out all over the place, but realized it was a tooth (which I found later). He managed to swallow a few too - that's ok too. The tooth dissolves..
Check my 360 page for a picture of my baby :-)
Reply:yes it is completly normal
Reply:Yes, their teeth fall out just like ours do.
Reply:yes they are just like humons there baby teeth do fall out
Reply:yes--it is his big teeth growing in and his baby teeth fall out. Just like humans. It's no big deal unless you see something unusual.
Reply:of course they have to get there adult teeth
Reply:ya i think its OK for that to happen
Reply:OMG! really I tought there was somthing wrong with my puppy when her teeth fell out but its normal because they will get bigger better teeth when they are adults

Reply:yes they do grow new teeth, don't worry about your puppy, it is a stage and many more teeth will be falling out. When I first got my dog I used to find her teeth everywhere around the house and once I found one in my sock!
Reply:yes it is normal for them to fall out .most of the time you won't find them because they swallow them.they are just like us and will lose their puppy teeth and grow their adult teeth.i have had experience with this and it freaked me out the first time too.
Reply:yes.if they are in the process of changing teeth.other i think it is a deficiency and i would advice you take him are her to the vet.
Reply:Yes, just like humans, dogs have baby teeth. They will fall out starting with the incisors (front center) and will be replaced with larger adult teeth. Many owners never actually see the pups lose the teeth and assume they swallowed them. The period when the puppy is getting its adult teeth is when they chew the most, so make sure your pup has plenty of appropriate things to chew on or all your shoes will be destroyed. Your dog may leave blood on things when teeth come out, which is nothing to worry about unless the bleeding doesn't stop. It can also be painful for the puppy, so things like ice and frozen treats as well as baby aspirin (talk to your vet before giving ANY meds) can make it easier on them. Puppy teeth are often called razor teeth because they are so sharp, so most owners are happy when their pups have all of their adult teeth and the mouthing stops. This period should end by about 6 months.
Reply:Of course. All puppies teeth. Thats why they are always biting things ( and because thats how they explore the world, threw their mouth and taste )
Reply:yes it is normal, when my dog was little we were finding her teeth lying around the house all the time. at if it was scary because we didnt remember our other dog teething when she was a puppy but the vet said it was competly normal.
Reply:Don't worry about it animals are just like humans when it comes to losing their teeth. They'll grow back!
Reply:yes its normal. puppy's teethe and lose teeth just like children do. your puppy will soon have he/shes adult teeth growing in soon!
Reply:yes, they lose baby teeth just like we do and grow adult teeth just like we do.

Reply:yes they do grow new teeth, don't worry about your puppy, it is a stage and many more teeth will be falling out. When I first got my dog I used to find her teeth everywhere around the house and once I found one in my sock!
Reply:yes it is normal for them to fall out .most of the time you won't find them because they swallow them.they are just like us and will lose their puppy teeth and grow their adult teeth.i have had experience with this and it freaked me out the first time too.
Reply:yes.if they are in the process of changing teeth.other i think it is a deficiency and i would advice you take him are her to the vet.
Reply:Yes, just like humans, dogs have baby teeth. They will fall out starting with the incisors (front center) and will be replaced with larger adult teeth. Many owners never actually see the pups lose the teeth and assume they swallowed them. The period when the puppy is getting its adult teeth is when they chew the most, so make sure your pup has plenty of appropriate things to chew on or all your shoes will be destroyed. Your dog may leave blood on things when teeth come out, which is nothing to worry about unless the bleeding doesn't stop. It can also be painful for the puppy, so things like ice and frozen treats as well as baby aspirin (talk to your vet before giving ANY meds) can make it easier on them. Puppy teeth are often called razor teeth because they are so sharp, so most owners are happy when their pups have all of their adult teeth and the mouthing stops. This period should end by about 6 months.
Reply:Of course. All puppies teeth. Thats why they are always biting things ( and because thats how they explore the world, threw their mouth and taste )
Reply:yes it is normal, when my dog was little we were finding her teeth lying around the house all the time. at if it was scary because we didnt remember our other dog teething when she was a puppy but the vet said it was competly normal.
Reply:Don't worry about it animals are just like humans when it comes to losing their teeth. They'll grow back!
Reply:yes its normal. puppy's teethe and lose teeth just like children do. your puppy will soon have he/shes adult teeth growing in soon!
Reply:yes, they lose baby teeth just like we do and grow adult teeth just like we do.
Reply:Yes, freaked me out the first time i seen it too, but it is normal!
loj
Reply:yes it is its just like when kids lose their baby teeth
Reply:Puppies lose their teeth just like a human toddler does.
Reply:Yes that is normal, we have our teeth fall out when we were young too so puppies are the same too
Reply:Yes this is normal they lose their baby teeth and grow in their adult teeth just like humans do.

Our month old cockerspaniel puppy is very agressive when he has a bone, how do I put a stop to this behaviour?
I love our cockerspaniel puppy "charlie" to bits and I want to keep his teeth and gums healthy and clean so i give him raw bones, but once its in his posession you just cant go near him for hours its like he has a split personality. He wont let anyone near him, in fear that we will take his bone, even once he has come inside and the bone is out side he stil show aggressive behaviour when approached. Charlie is normally so friendly and cuddly.
Raw bones are banned in our house for now, as that seems to triggetr the aggressive behaviour, I have found that puppy pedigree denta bones work well as they clean the teeth but he doesn't get aggressive towards us.
I am very concerned about this behaviour and I want to know why he would have acted like this and how I can prevent it in future. Please help.

You have a month old (4 week old) pup? And you are giving him bones?
Sounds like you may want to start obedience training classes ASAP and find a trainer that has dealt with aggressive Cockers.
I've seen and dealt with many as a groomer. Google Nothing In Life is Free for tips on retraining him.
Reply:Hi there. Bones, especially raw ones, are considered "high value" to a dog. They are an extra special treat that Charlie only gets every now and again -- they look good, taste good, and Charlie sees absolutely NO reason why he should give his fantastic prize up for you. After all, how would you feel if you were eating your favorite bar of chocolate and someone snatched it away with no warning or compromise? you wouldn't be happy, would you? well, Charlie is doing the same.
The best way to combat possessiveness is the show the dog that you are no threat to his food. I like to compromise and here is how...
"What you got there, Charlie? you got a tasty bone? good dog. Lookie, want a piece of ham? this also tastes good."
*Charlie drops bone*
*You pick up bone, give the dog a treat, and give the bone straight back*...dog learns that by dropping the bone, the bone is not going to magically disappear, and the hand that can take it away is also the provider of tasty treats.
Hand feeding him can also help him associate you being no threat to his food.
Reply:Well, there may be two suggestions to that: First, I will use a baby lion that is tamed for an example, you cannot feed them raw meat because you cannot let them taste blood, once they have tasted blood, they may became wild, because hunting and eating raw meat and tasting blood is their ancestors' way to survive, so that it may become aggresive and fierce, so maybe this is the reason why Charlie is acting like this, I think.
The second reason is that Charlie may be spoiled, and it thinks that is the boss of the family and everyone does not have the authority to control its temper because everyone is under it. If it is a gentle dog, then it will not show even a tiny bit of aggresion to its owners, but in Charlie' s case, I think that it is thinking that nobody can take away its food while it is eating, it' s like feeding two dogs at the same time, they might fight for their food and is not willing to share if the other one has finished eating.
Well good luck, I hope my suggestion helps!
Reply:This breed is famous for being protective with their food. Get a trainer..now! When the dog is eating his normal food, play with it. make him understand that are not a threat to steal his food. But seriously get a trainer now.
Reply:dont give him bones dufus, he is still supposesd to be on his mothers tit,,,t

Help!!!what do i do???i found a puppy in my front yard??
Keep it, take it to a shelter, or call your dog control offocer.
Reply:How old are you? If you are a kid, then have your mom or dad go door to door and see if they can find the owner.
If they can't find the owner, call a NO-KILL shelter so that they can take the dog and find it a good home.

Reply:Take it to the shelter or vet to see if it has a microchip. Put up signs and posters trying to find her home. If no one responds, then she is yours. Take good care of her.
Reply:Keep it or give it to someone! Don't let it suffer...I'd say keep it. Puppies need luv and care too :))))
Reply:1) Attempt to find owners by placing flyers, calling shelters to see if anyone has come by asking etc.
2) Decide whether you wish to keep it or not. (after owner's have not been located)
3) If you decide to keep it go out and invest in puppy classes, toys, high-quality food and a crate.
Reply:take to a shelter and ask to if they can find its owner and hav a look on its collar if it has a NAME and a PHONE NUMBER
Reply:Before deciding to keep the puppy, I would post found signs of it around the neighborhood because some could have lost him and really be missing him. Take him to a local vet to find out if he is microchipped, because this will save alot of time and effort. If no one calls for it in about a month or so, then you and your family should decide if you want to keep the puppy, and accept the large responsibility of having it. But please post signs around, because it really is a terrible feeling of loosing a pet, and who knows, their may be a reward for him. If not a monetary reward, you may feel the reward of pride of doing such a great thing.
Reply:If you can keep the puppy, then keep him. If you can't, put some flyer's up and see if anyone claims him. Give it about a week or two, and if no one does, then take him to the Vet and see if you can keep him. Also, please remember that if you keep the puppy, make sure your ready for one.
Reply:take its picture and make flyers to put up
put an ad in the paper -usually free for found animals
call a local NO KILL shelter and find out if they have room
if no one claims it, ask around to see if anyone has been looking to adopt - call vets offices, put flyers there too
or get permission to adopt it if you can afford to take care of it for its whole life
Reply:Call your local shelter and animal control to see if anyone has reported a missing dog. Since it was wearing a collar, presumably it has an owner and is not a dog that was just dumped off.
Reply:put up some flyers saying dog found all around your neighborhood. also you can put and ad in the paper. if no one calls, then i guess he's a early christmas present. just feed him well and take care of him, and im sure you will love you.
Reply:Post up Found flyers, post on Craigslist or other local sites, and check with your newspaper Lost/Found ads because many papers will let you do free found ads. Also, you can take it to a vet or shelter and they will scan it for a microchip. Make sure if someone calls you about their pup that they can identify it (like by its blue collar and the color and personality of the dog)!
Reply:Put up some signs to find the rightful owner. If nobody claims it, either keep it or take it to the shelter.
Pleas keep it though. no dog enjoys being put into a shelter.
Reply:First try and find the owners. If that doesn't work keep it if you can. If not, go to a shelter or even a vet to check for any identification chips and the like. However, I'd really try keeping it,
this puppy showed up on you porch for a reason. After all, we all deserve a loving family where we can feel loved and safe. I know from personal experience because I found a stray cat in my backyard. We decided to keep her and she's great, get along with my dog and everything. Anyway, I hope this helps you.
Reply:If there is no ID tag you have 2 choices keepit or take it to the ASPCA. I would keep it but I'm a softy
Reply:you need to call animal control and in the mean time try and find the owner call every one around you place signs my daughter just went there this they had been very mistreated she took them to the vet on Monday they didn't have any micro chips was about 25 lbs under weight and the collar had grown into there neck they had what looked like ring worm and the ears are one over 1/2 of each ear was dead from something and it had ear infection and was running a fever and by the time animal control showed up on Tues she have cared for them 24 hours a day from Sunday she fell in love with them and wanted to foster them till she could adopt them it ended up being a big mess but any way it looks the one who mistreated them will get them back she was so hurt so don't fall in love with it
Reply:If it had a collar then it is definately someones puppy, put up found posters around your neighborhood and at a shelter or veterinary office(that's where people often go looking for their pets) with a picture of the puppy on it and your phone number and keep the puppy until you find the owner. After a few weeks if you still havn't found the owner give the puppy to a shelter like the SPCA where they do NOT uthinize dogs or if your ok with keeping it keep the puppy. Also you should take it in to your veterinarian to make sure it is healthy.
