Why this photo of Prince George got an official warning

Yes, this adorable image sparked a national controversy for the most ridiculous reason.

The 22nd of July marked Prince George’s third birthday, so the Royal family generously released some adorable portraits of our favourite prince.

But one of the photos in particular has prompted an official warning. Yes, really!

Upon seeing the adorable pic, England’s RSPCA issued a statement warning about the dangers of feeding certain ‘human foods’ to dogs.

“It is lovely that Prince George is trying to help keep his family dog, Lupo, cool in these high temperatures,” the RSPCA said in a statement.

“We would advise to be cautious when giving their dogs food meant for human consumption as some items, like chocolate, can be highly toxic to dogs and dairy items can be difficult for them to digest.”

Okay everyone, calm down. Lupo probably didn’t even lick the icecream. And if he did, it was probably the one lick he gets a year for cute family portraits. It’s highly unlikely the pooch is tucking into a bowl of Ben & Jerry’s every night.

Speaking of things that melt, how about our insides. Because the new photos of George – four in total – are just the cutest dingin’ thing we ever did see. Enjoy them, like Lupo the dog enjoys the odd lick of an icecream. Everything in moderation.
