What would you say after accidentally implying that someones baby looked like a dog?

Question

She said her dog was sick and was holding it wrapped up in a blanket. I commented on how fluffy her little puppy was, and she just made an awkward face at me. The "puppy" had thick, fluffy black hair growing in what seemed like every direction.

When she turned a little bit to the side, I saw that her sick puppy had a little human face. I felt kind of bad, but I didn't know what to say...and besides, I was laughing too hard. Her friend was walking behind her and had the real puppy on a leash.

Answer 1

I would have said I could see that she was holding a baby, and that when she said her puppy was sick I thought that's what she was talking about. And then I'd say I in no means meant your baby looked like a dog.

Answer 2

i dont no, but thats funny!

Answer 3

Say "Aaaw, it has little puppy eyes," and try not to laugh. But I think what you did is what anyone else here would've done in such a situation.

Answer 4

Time to close your mouth before you put your other foot in it,, too.

That's funny!

Answer 5

Seems like a very funny and honest mistake.

"Wow - that's a lot of hair for a little person!" might have been a good save.
