Boy fools parents into adopting a puppy by impersonating his mother

A cheeky schoolboy fooled his dad into getting a puppy by impersonating his mum in WhatsApp messages – even calling him ‘hun’ and hilariously signing off ‘just get one, the kids are crying’.

Little Noah Ley, nine, from Newport, South Wales, was desperate to welcome a puppy into the family after learning his parents had discussed the possibility of getting a pal for 18-month-old cocker spaniel Jet.

Kevyn Ley rang wife Janine Ley on Sunday November 6 mentioning that an eight-week-old puppy was available to rehome immediately.

The dental nurse, 40, said she wanted time to think about it, but while her back was turned as she did housework, Noah swiped the phone and carried on the conversation with his oblivious dad over WhatsApp.

Noah effortlessly convinced the steel worker, 43, he was continuing the chat with Janine by peppering pet names ‘love’ and ‘hun’ into the chat messages.

The cheeky lad even said ‘they all want one’, hilariously signing off ‘Kev, just get one, the kids are crying’.

It was only two hours later that the mum-of-three, who’s also mum to Ethan Ley, 15, and three-year-old Nellie Ley, checked her phone and realised the mini mastermind’s plan had worked perfectly.

Noah was delighted to set the meeting between the two pups into motion and, after the pair hit it off, golden cocker spaniel Lulu is now a new permanent member of the family.
