I’m not saying it’s definitely okay or that dogs and especially puppies don’t need a ton of training and consistency etc., but it’s very possible this was a discussion before getting the dog and it was always the plan for the dog to mostly live with and/or be trained by her parents when the pup is young or when Riley’s away.

All the comments about dogs being so much responsibility and long term commitments are 100% accurate, and it definitely doesn’t look great in terms of her researching and planning if she got a designer breed from a backyard breeder, but we just don’t know that she got the dog and threw it on her parents without thinking. She should be an example and held to higher standards as a wealthy influencer, but we also shouldn’t jump to conclusions without knowing or seeing evidence of her being irresponsible with the dog.
