Dog Ignores Recommended Ages for Play Set

Dog Ignores Recommended Ages for Play Set

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Peanut the dog has sparked controversy across his neighborhood by continuing to use a play set that was intended for ages 2-4. The dog is only 18 months.

Though local children love Peanut – “He’s awesome,” said Carly Classon, age 6 – neighborhood parents have voiced concerns that the pup’s actions might encourage other young residents to ignore safety warnings.

“He’s setting a bad example for the other youth on the block. He’s not old enough for that slide,” Neighborhood Association President Maxwell Higgenbother said.

Other in the neighborhood don’t agree.

“You have to take his dogness into consideration,” said Pete Frannicker, who lives on the same block as Peanut. “In dog years, he’s almost 20. He’s actually kind of too old to be playing on a kiddy slide, which is a whole other thing.”
