Boy, 9, hilariously tricks dad into buying puppy by pretending to be mum on WhatsApp

A cheeky school boy tricked his dad into buying a puppy by impersonating his mum in WhatsApp messages. Noah Ley, nine, was so desperate to welcome a new dog into the family that he nabbed his mum's phone while she was doing housework and carried on the conversation with his oblivious dad.

Noah effortlessly convinced Kevyn, 43, that he was continuing the chat with his wife by peppering pet names 'love' and 'hun' into the messages.

Two hours later, mum-of-three Janine, 40, checked her phone and realised what had happened.
