Small, cute puppies arouse a lot of enthusiasm, especially among children who treat them like living mascots. However, it should be remembered that taking a dog is associated with a substantial list of responsibilities. Therefore, a puppy should never be given to someone as a gift, especially as part of a Christmas surprise. The decision to buy a dog or a kitten should be independent and well thought-out, so it is better not to take it for someone and put another gift under the tree.
