I’ve seen many incredibly moving examples of people giving dogs as gifts to loved ones, for example it was the story of a little girl who waited 7 years for a puppy, and when she finally got it, she reacted amazingly, like she was going to go for a gold bar to fetch.
But this is a story about gifts in the form of dogs that had a positive outcome. But did you know that there are circumstances where it’s not okay to gift a dog?
In the short film below, a man goes to adopt a little girl, the first time the family welcomes the little girl with open arms and just adores her. But then they get caught up and start ignoring her. When she cheats on herself a little, they decide to abandon her.
They left the little one on a dusty country road and left him to be someone else’s problem. However, the father looks at the clip in the rear-view mirror and the truth that the clip is trying to express becomes clear: There was no little girl, but this amazing dog who was irresponsibly given a gift to his daughter by the man.
At the end, we are reminded, “Be responsible. Give and adopt wisely.” Keep in mind that pets are not only funny gifts given on birthdays, but also part of the family!
Here is this emotional campaign clip expressing a very important fact, please share it yourself, with all the animals in the world!
