That puppy is there to stay. DCKs come and go, eventually everyone leaves. I could not work with a child who was cruel to animals especially MY animals and a pup at that! I get the same blow off with parents. They never correct their kids! Depending on how bad you need this child (see I am desperate) I would tell parents if it happens again it is an instant term due to violence. (i have that in my contract!)
Sorry your fur baby got kicked!!
