Oh, no. Actually, she said that they "beat the daylights" out of her when she hurts the pup. And actually, she has only really hurt him once, physically, and that was a small bump on his head. The other times, it just hurt his feelings, because he was trying to play with her and she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
So, no, they are definitely scolding her when she acts out. |
