dog
the main thing is for your kids not to think you're hiding stuff from them or giving them half truths-
when my daughter was about 5 my radio was stolen form my car. when lil princess sees the dangling wires she asked what happened- I didn't want for her to feel her security was violated by someone breaking into my car which could lead to her worrying about people breaking into the house etc. SO I LIED! i told her it was in to be fixed, she asked a follow-up question that would have required a second lie- and I just told her the truth. she was fine.
As to the dog, his friends will be telling him what happened so you might want to be straight. hell i don't know. it probably doesn't matter.
