16 Men Who’d Do Anything for the Pets They “Never Wanted”

Animals
4 years ago

As odd as it may sound, there’s something we need to accept: some people don’t really enjoy being around animals. Their relationship with anyone’s pet seems dry or non-existent. So much so, that you can’t imagine them sharing their home with a small, 4-legged friend of their own. But is there really anyone who’s been known to resist a furry animal’s cuteness and beauty?

If you don’t know the answer, Bright Side wants to help you make a decision by showing you proof that discredits the idea that some people can resist an animal’s charm. At the end of the article, you’ll find a bonus feature with even more stories!

1. “My dad who ’didn’t want a cat’ showing Lucas every item from his recent grocery trip because ’he wants to see what we’ve got.’”

2. “My dad was really sad when my sister and I moved out but categorically refused to get a dog. My mom got one anyway. This is them now.”

3. “Just another dad surrounded by the pets he never wanted”

4. “No dogs allowed in bed. Exceptions were made.”

5. “From a dad who did not want a pet to a pet who does not want a dad...”

6. “Who does he think I am? His father? I think so.”

7. Dad: “No, I don’t want pets, who will take care of them when we’re on vacation?”

Also dad: *shares his salmon*

8. “’Why would you ever want a rodent in your house?’ My dad said almost 4 years ago when we got our chinchilla. Now he takes every chance he gets to watch TV with her.”

9. “This is my ’what do you want a cat for, I’m allergic?!’ friend. Now he runs around barking like a dog when the cat is bullied by other cats in the garden. So she waits for him until she hears his car.”

10. Dad: “I don’t want a pet, so stop pestering me about it.” Also Dad: “Please go on vacation so I can hang out with my grandson again.”

11. “My dad had to catsit for me last week. He refuses to get another pet. The whole sunroom was converted into a cat playground when I came to pick him up.”

12. “I caught him hugging the giant dog he didn’t want. He was also singing the dog his own personal song.”

13. “He refused to stand up because ’she’d had a long day and needed the nap.’”

14. “From ’it’s not a real dog’ to dancing together...”

15. “From ’we don’t need a rat in the house’ to ’don’t forget his pillow, the cart is too cold for him.’”

16. “My dad reading the news with ’that dog’”

My husband said, “‘No more old dogs, no more wonky one eyed dogs, no more limping three legged dogs, no more pee on my couch, have no bladder control dogs.. Then I get this text, “On your way home buy her a cozy bed, variety of soft food for her teeth and see if you can find a handyman to build her a ramp for the stairs. Also, she needs diapers.”
