Her Boyfriend Bought Her A Puppy For Her Birthday Yesterday, But She Really Wants To Return The Puppy And Get Another Breed Of Dog
A 28-year-old woman has spent her whole life hoping to be a dog owner. She ended up doing a lot of research so she could figure out what breed of dog would be the best fit for her kind of lifestyle.
She also has planned on rescuing a dog that’s the breed of her choice if she can, before she considers purchasing a dog.
She’s been living all on her own for the last 8 years, but she didn’t get a dog yet because she’s been waiting to make sure she’s financially secure enough to own one.
She is currently at a point where she feels like she’s finally ready to get the dog of her dreams, and she has been planning to get one within a couple of months.
Her 29-year-old boyfriend named Greg knows all about how much she has wanted a dog. She doesn’t live with Greg yet, but they do spend a ton of time with one another. She has brought up to Greg that she’s hoping to get a dog right after New Year’s.
Yesterday she celebrated her birthday, and Greg really did surprise her by purchasing her a Husky puppy.
The puppy really is super cute, but she can’t help but feel pretty upset, as that is not the dog she wanted at all.
“First of all a husky is not the type of dog for me, second of all I really wanted to rescue and Greg said he spent a ton of money getting this dog from a breeder, and third of all I believe that humans and animals have to meet first to see if they’re a match or not before taking one home,” she explained.
“I don’t know, I’m probably over the top but this is what I think. A dog is a loooong commitment and needs a lot of thought. In my opinion, surprising people with a puppy as a present makes a cute moment or video, but beyond that, it’s not always the best idea.”

“Anyways, I gently let Greg know that I love him and his thoughtfulness for me and I appreciate it so much but I want to return the pup for said reasons above.”
She then stated that she wants to visit a dog rescue in the new year, and she would like Greg to join her.
Greg is really quite hurt that she wants to return the puppy that he thoughtfully picked out for her, but then his disappointment turned to anger.
Greg has since accused her of being really difficult, and although she feels bad, she knows returning the puppy is the best decision for her.
Regardless, she’s left wondering if it is mean of her to want to return Greg’s husky puppy in order to pick out another dog. Do you think this is mean, or is she doing the right thing?
