Giving a dog as a present for your kids in Christmas is perhaps the sweetest present for your kids. However, here are some considerations before doing the plan because a dog is for life, not just for Christmas. Based on the fact, many people go to the animal sanctuary to give back their pets, especially dogs because of some reasons.
Some of the reasons are the dogs’ barks that are too much and can disturb their neighbors, their other pets that do not like the new dog, the dog that affects the health of one of the members of their family, the dog that is not easy to handle so this pet may destroy their furniture or bite their children, or the dog that is not permitted to live with them because of certain rule in their new flat.
Actually, having relationship with the dog is a great thing you can achieve since there is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. Once you hold the heart of a dog, he will never leave you. If you love and treat him with kindness and respect, he will love you forever no matter your look or your smell. Even, he will become the most loyal companions and friends you have ever known.
Thus, before deciding a puppy or a dog becomes your Christmas present for your kids, you should realize that like human, a pet should be a long term commitment. Then, make sure that all of your family welcome him enthusiastically as a new family member.
