A small amount of Peanut butter is used in shelters to help give the dogs medicine. You guys act like the dogs are eating 5 gallons each =/ Do something positive and go volunteer your time at your local shelter

Regardless of whether peanut butter is good or not. He's a little boy and it's the thought that counts. But the point here is those who weren't aware of it being used for medicine have good intentions too, let's be kind to another. Good for you Carlitos! Keep up the good work :)

Dogs love peanut butter. Helps with medicine and you can use it as a treat. Be careful though, don't give them too much because they'll be licking the roof of their mouth all day. lol Sorry but I find that amusing.... : ) That's a super cool thing to do Carlitos. Bless you're little heart.

His parents need to educate him on not giving dogs peanut butter, not the child's fault. PB is actually dangerous for dogs. Research it.

I know plenty of dogs that eat peanut butter. There even are toys that you are supposed to fill with peanut butter to keep your dog entertained.

Empathy is natural for small children. No doubt this wounded dinosaur toy is very disturbing to this small child. I have a six year old who would still very much find this injured toy disturbing so I can imagine how troubling that violence could be to a two year old.

Its better for a dog to eat than to not eat!! Marie-ClaireDawson do you buy raw dog food or raw meat and donate it to shelters and if you actually do you buy 80lbs of it which is the same amount that this dear sweet boy gave?!? I in no way support Pedigree, but if a child or matter of fact anyone for that matter chooses to spend their savings their hard earned money to buy food for homeless shelter animals than keep your negative comments to yourself. Can you really be so uppity and snobbish that you turn your nose up to charity cause it's not good enough for you!! We need to raise up and praise these young ones because they are our future!! I pray that no one ever turns their nose up at you in your time of need! I pray God opens your eyes and heart to the real world, not just the privileged world you seem to come from.

Young man, that is one of the nicest things people can do for animals in a shelter. Th shelter workers are all so busy all the time, they don't get to spend a lot of one on one time with the animals. You are doing something very special.
