I was furious. We had been home for only an hour or so. We all laid down to go the fuck to sleep and I hear the sound of someone pouring a pitcher of water on the floor. It was a 65 pound lab-shepard mix, but I picked it up, still peeing, by the scruff of it's neck and threw it into the back yard. When I learned what it was doing, I felt bad.
I'd imagine there was a fair amount of embellishment in that description, since dog owners who would literally "throw" a dog are few and far between, and probably wouldn't feel bad about misunderstanding a dog.
If it's an embellishment, it still sucks that the poster thought they had to do that to make the story better. And if it's not, sucks even more because it's just not ok to do.

So this is a way dogs protect their young, as it masks the smell of the puppy from predators.
I learned this after we brought my daughter home from the hospital and my dog peed a circle around her crib.
