"I don't want a dog at home!" - how many of us have fought and lost this battle against our parents? In particular, against the intransigence of our father, a man of sound principles and strong opinions, who certainly would never have bowed in front of the sweet eyes of a puppy a few months old. Sure. They all say so. We, poor animal lovers, have been trying to convince them to take a furry four-legged friend to love forever, since we started to master the language, but they have always scolded us and looked at us with an air of fake malice . A tactic that, in effect, has kept us from continuing to hope to have a dog for all the years to come. But hope is the last to die, right? And, in fact, there comes a certain point that even the most intransigent father "converts", agreeing to welcome a dog into his home.

Some examples of dads that said "I don't want a dog, not now, not EVER":

1. The one who spread it around that he was not an animal lover ... but today sleeps with his favorite puppy
