Puppy survives after accidentally being flushed down toilet!

A week-old British puppy is safe and sound after being accidentally flushed down the toilet by his 4-year-old master.

The tiny cocker spaniel was rescued by an employee of a drainage company after being trapped in a sewage pipe for close to four hours, according to two British dailies. Firefighters and the RSPCA had failed at their attempts to free the pup.

Daniel Blair, 4, had been trying to give the muddy dog a bath, after his twin brother Nicky took the young pup for a walk in the garden of their Middlesex home.

Retarded children should not have pets.

It's always smart to leave 4 year olds in charge of living creatures..Dumbass parents.

"the muddy dog"? after being in a sewage pipe, i'm not sure that was mud. maybe butt-mud.

the photos of the poor pup stuck in the sewer pipe are horrifying - he's all smeared in poo and looks dead. not okay.

Animal welfare people in England are generally pretty hardcore - I imagine they're going to be making a fuss about this. Leaving any pet in the sole charge of a toddler is animal cruelty. They can easily kill a small pet through sheer lack of understanding.

That video on the Daily News site seemed to be just the raw footage inside the drain.

This one has the mother talking:

Change that puppy to a pitbull and the Slog would have wanted it to drown.
