What looks like a very innocent photo, where the dog isn't even licking the ice cream, has brought on a flurry of angry comments online which go as far as to say that they are trying to kill the dog. One person said, "Never give a dog ice cream. At worst: it'll die, At best: the dog will diarrhoea everywhere!" while another person went further and suggested little George should go to prison for it. Seriously?
