He's like a vet that won't tell little Timmy the truth, lying to little Timmy that his dog Patch has indeed only weeks to live, can't admit that if he'd given Patch the correct treatment Patch would be alive and living a long life, instead he ingnored the warning signs, Patch won't last long, poor Patch, such a good dog to begin but the lack of care given let poor Timmy down. Rip patch.
