even better, get rid of the music and let me hear their genuine reactions.

By that reaction, in this moment, they deserve a puppy more than anyone else on earth.

I'm guessing that will be the luckiest dog in the world.

That is a teeny, tiny puppy. I was surprised how small it is. It looks like a miniature dachshund so it won’t get too big and be easy to take care of. All three are adorable.

Looks like it should still be with its mother

I wish I could have heard the actual reaction instead of obnoxious music!

That dog is going to be absolutely spoiled rotten, so cute!

That pooch is going to be eating better than 99% of us and loved up the the nines.

Such a great video and such a lucky bunch.

Can we stop boxing animals up as gifts and treat them like fucking living things please? As happy as they are I hate it when I see animals boxed up like that poor thing might of been in there for hours

Surprise puppies always make people cry from joy.

Grown man crying because of happiness will always make me emotional.

Always downvoting vds where living breathing animals are used as gifts.

And in this case: a young puppy for elders?? Really? I've volunteered in shelters who would only allow these adoption in very specific cases. Elders usually don't have the energy to raise a puppy - who will most likely outlive them..

1

u/International_Debt58 7h ago

Seriously. What a horrible comment. You didn’t adopt to old people?

Go away.

1

u/Mental-Quality7063 7h ago

Yes, as a principle very young animals rarely should be adopted by elder people.

u/International_Debt58 6h ago

You are not the arbiter of anything. Any adult can adopt any puppy or kitty. You’re a fool. Do you know how many animals are out there?

u/Mental-Quality7063 4h ago

I am not the arbiter of anything. I just know, I've witnessed it many times, it's common practice to avoid adoptions of very young and energetic animals to older people. As, for instance, it's common practice for some shelters to avoid making adoptions of cats for families with children with less than 12 years old and also to close facilities around Christmas precisely as a way to discourage people to get pets as gifts. I didn't invent any of this. Duh. If you'd really know how many of these animals are eventually returned.. I've received them. I know. you only see the cute videos of the "adoption" and have no clue how most of these stories end. And from the time I've worked as a vet assistant I could tell you even more depressing stories that just returning the cats/dogs to the shelter as soon as they get to their wild teenage months and are no longer cute and docile.

The grandmother jumps for joy, and then bends down on her knees to pick up a tiny little puppy, which is obviously a small breed. The grandfather is in sneakers and looks pretty spry. I will assume three happy lives in that house. ❤️

u/CloudDizzy3383 21h ago

Actually, I think people still think the job of the pet is to make us humans happy and to serve us. Yes, it's cute to see the grandparents, but what happens when they die. A dog lives for years, and nobody is thinking what will happen to this fluffy creature when the old ones die.

u/SexConosseour 23h ago

I'm not trying to be a downer, but it takes time to mourn the loss of a pet. Giving someone a "replacement" puppy can leave the recipient feeling like they are being disloyal to the friend they just lost

u/Public-Engineer-216 23h ago

Clearly not what's happening here

6

u/Not-quite-my-tempo- 23h ago

They’re clearly happy and grateful for the pet. You’re just being a downer.

2

u/Vegetable-Mover 21h ago

That’s a bold assumption.

u/juflyingwild 10h ago

Do you still feel guilty about being with your current partner and feel disloyal to your ex?
