Man Gets Grumpy Because In-Laws Took The Puppy They Were Supposed To Train Before Handing It Over To Them

by Maryjane

A puppy is one of the most popular holiday presents, whether it's for a significant other or a kid. It's a nice idea if you want to give someone a puppy for the holidays but there are a few things to think about before giving a dog as a gift.

To make sure the recipient and dog are a suitable match, you might want to check if the individual is physically active amongst other things. In today's story, we see a Redditor named u/NaterTott69 and his wife, who has had a kind of idea to get her dad a dog since he used to have one he took everywhere.

The wife's dad is getting older and, according to the OP, "is on dialysis for kidneys or something." The wife's mom agreed to the idea when it was run by her as long as it's a mellow dog since they aren't up for some spaz dog.

The puppies were available, and they were going to pick one up. The OP's wife invited her mom and dad to meet the two puppies, and they ended up taking one puppy home.

Now, this is where the OP has a problem. He hasn't even seen the dog, and their kids don't even know about it, and it has already been taken away.

Keep scrolling to read the story in full.

Giving pets as gifts is totally cool and acceptable. But it's crucial to give pets as gifts only to people who have expressed a sustained interest in owning one and the ability to care for it responsibly.

The element of surprise is lost when you directly ask the receiver if they want a puppy. So it's best to do your homework diligently.
