That puppy isn't any eight weeks old, though. He's only about two weeks old.

I think the reporter must have misunderstood whatever the rescuer actually said

Also the puppy didn't have any baby teeth yet. Puppies can be weaned at six to eight

The puppy was dropped on Sunday and first opened his eyes on Tuesday. Either he was unable to open his eyes before then due to injuries/shock from the fall, or he is literally opening them for the first time in his life.
The rescuer has dogs, cats, horses and hawks, so presumably knows enough about dogs to know that they open their eyes long before they turn 8 weeks.

He's not as innocent as he seems.

Nice story, though
