Many dogs will find new families this Christmas and then many dogs will be in the shelter or rehomed by February. To give a person a dog as a gift, you have committed them to house breaking, obedience training, training bills, vet bills, possibly grooming bills or grooming at home, food and treat bills, a possible change in their daily schedule, play time, snuggle time, walk time, boarding fees, pet sitter fees and management of any behaviors that may not be desirable at the moment. Now that is the reality of giving someone a dog for Christmas, the rewards from a dog are wonderful but ownership comes with great responsibility if they can not handle that it would be better to get them a stuffed dog. You are responsible for the life of an animal. Food for thought!
