A shocked mum was called into her child’s school after a teacher took umbrage with the name of their new puppy.
The preschool teacher felt that the name was “extremely inappropriate” and so called on the parent to explain why their son was using foul language to describe the new furry family member.
But is understood to have been shocked but wildly amused when she discovered that there had been a massive misunderstanding about "Tucker's" name and set about explaining the situation.

The nephew of the mum concerned took to Reddit to explain the situation, they posted : "My auntie and uncle just recently got an adorable puppy and everyone was trying to help them come up with names, as they hadn't thought of one before adopting.
"Everybody thought it was adorable. What could go wrong with such a nice name?
"Well, my auntie and uncle happen to have an 20-month-old son and a few days after naming the dog, they got some complaints from his preschool teacher.
"It turns out their son can't pronounce the 't' sound well enough, and so when he talked about his new puppy, he referred to him as 'f***er' or simply 'f***'."
After explaining the mix up to the preschool teacher, they came up with a solution to nickname the new puppy Spot because he is a Dalmatian, the Mirror reports.
However, this came with its own set of problems.
He added: "My auntie still has embarrassing moments at the dog park - such as my little cousin yelling "Come here you silly f***er!" or 'f***ing Spot' when trying to address the dog.
"But normally people have a good laugh once she explains the situation so 'it's all good' according to her".
While most users couldn't help but laugh at the situation, others shared their own stories of their children mixing up the 't' and 'f' sounds.
One user said: "So funny. My son at about that age was asking for a fork but kept saying f*** at a large football party. Thank goodness they all laughed."
Another user said: "I loved my childhood dog named Tucker - it's a great name for a dog."
