My family had somehow gotten a miniature black Dachshund. When I say miniature, I mean it: the dog was roughly 2 or 3 inches long, and could stand on my palm. On top of it, it was apparently a puppy, so it lacked basic training. The dog had pooped inside the house (which was a little bit strange, as the poop was way too big for him, proportionally), and my father was angry. He started to beat/slap the dog to punish it. Sure, it wasn't hard, but for a miniature dog it was enough to make him even more scared and poop even more. Dad walked away angrily, while I patted on it much lighter, just to discipline it.
