Some dads act like a dog is a terrible idea right up until one ends up on their lap, at their feet, or following them around the house. Then the whole attitude changes fast, and suddenly they are the ones making room on the couch and talking to the dog like it is family.

That is exactly what happens in these posts, where dads who once wanted nothing to do with a dog end up completely won over. The photos and clips capture the shift from resistance to full-on devotion, and the results are as sweet as they are funny.

By the end, it is hard to tell who was more against the idea in the first place. Read on.

1. "My dad dressed "the dog he didn't want" in my childhood dress he kept for his first granddaughter."
