The Nashville-based Christian influencers have been documenting their lives on the internet, via Nikki's YouTube channel, for 10 years now, amassing 1.7 million followers in the process.

Watch: Nikki and Dan explain how their son, Logan, interacted with Bowser. Post continues below.

This sounds like a lie to me. I've given a home successfully to adult dogs who have had to be rehomed, and they had been with their previous owners since birth. I can't imagine anyone from a humane society giving this advice. There would have been plenty of people happy to take the dog and give a go at rehoming him.
