What's an "honest accident"?

LOL@Blitzen, lots of wiggle room there! That was always my definition of manslaughter.

I would think an honest accident could likely cover many things but to me it would imPly death that was truly unintentional in nature and the buyer completely honest in what happened and there are no holes or fishiness in the story like they aren't telling the whole truth.
. For example when I got Janna we had our septic tanks pumped and the waste guy did not put the cap or cover back on the second tank and I was completely unaware as it is part of his job. I don't know if he got sidetracked or what. He has pumped our tanks multiple times in the 12 years we have been here and this has never happened.. Our tank is very difficult to get to and not someplace I would ever enter (under our deck which is less than 3 feet off of the ground and has lattice fencing all the way around, you have to belly crawl under the deck to get to them) I was out in the yard in the afternoon after the waste guy had been. Our dogs like to sleep under there because it is cool and Janna followed a big dog under and subsequently fell IN to the septic tank (gross) thankfully she was fished out, bless my husband for suiting up and going right in to the tank, and was no worse for wear but if she had died I think that would have been an honest to goodness unfortunate accident. An at fault accident would be someone who has no fence and no runs for their dogs and they leave them outside when the go out and their dog gets hit by a car. The dog died from an accident caused by intentional negligence. Or someone has plants in their yard that they know are poison to dogs and do nothing to prevent the dog from gettin to them. Or they leave their dogs In the garage and they leave jugs of antifreeze on a shelf low enough for the pupoy to get to and the puppy chews through the jug and gets sick and dies.

Or if a puppy does of bloat. Even experienced owners can lose a dog/pup to bloat. That is no fault of the buyer and I believe it would warrant replacement.

I thought I should update on this situation. The breeders have changed their stance and are now offering to replace the puppy. I don't want to go into detail, but it was not a simple ordeal.

Starrchar,
Thank goodness for your family member, the breeder did the right thing in the end. As far as this not being a simple ordeal, by the time these issues hit these boards, they never are, are they?
All's well that ends well.

Happy endings, not enough of them really but great to hear!

I am very glad to hear that, Charlene! HURRAY!
(I've always liked that particular breeder, and am glad she came through for you...)

Yes, we are very happy about the outcome. I PM'd you.

I would absolutely offer a replacement puppy. It just seems wrong not to. Perhaps it was not a genetic issue, but still ... very sad they lost their puppy like that. I'd not feel right about myself if I didn't offer a replacement.
