Whether you are a parent or not, you must admit that it has to be hard to look into those hopeful little eyes and tell them no. It is a hard thing to do but it has to be done. Many of these small children are excited about the idea of having a dog as they do not recognize the responsibilities that come along with them.
All they see is a puppy to play with: a loving ball of fur that will smother them with wet sloppy kisses and unconditional love. They don't see the work involved; they aren't thinking of time spent training your puppy, the walks, the messes, or the cleaning. They also aren't thinking of the fact that cuddly little puppies grow into dogs. You'll be the one doing the house training, and the obedience training.
If the puppy is lucky, you'll be the one who takes care of him or her. If the puppy isn't lucky then they may be turned over to the animal shelter or left by the side of the road somewhere.
Prior to taking one in, be sure you are ready. Do not allow a little life to suffer because you gave in to your child's desire at the time.
If you have a child and want a puppy you have to make sure everyone knows it's the family's dog. Everyone will have to take a part in raising and training your puppy.
If you aren't sure, then don't get the puppy - nobody (even puppies) wants to be brought to a home where they are not loved!
