Many puppies given as Christmas presents go on to live happy long lives with those families. In fact, I think more do than don't although yes, it's true that many are given away or rehomed but there are many that aren't. When my son was 3, we gave him a puppy for a birthday present and she lived with us until she was 12 years old and finally passed away (she was a collie) We were all heartbroken but especially my son who was almost 15 at that time and had lost his best friend..... |
