40 Dads “Refusing” To Get Along With Dogs

I don’t believe anyone who tells me they don’t like dogs.

I mean, how could you possibly hate these precious creatures? Just look at them! We don’t deserve dogs. They are too precious. Getting a pet is a huge responsibility. When you adopt a dog, you have to take care of them, feed them, look after their health, and make sure they get enough exercise to stay healthy. Not everyone has the time or resources to do all that. This is why most parents are reluctant to keep a dog when their kids ask for one. Even though they pretend to not want the dog, deep inside they really do want a cuddly furbaby.

Even if they don’t initially want a dog, which I highly doubt, the dog is most likely to change their minds. It doesn’t take long for a dog to secure its place in your heart. These dogs won the hearts of dads that did not want them at first. Scroll down below to see the wholesome sights:

1. 1000% Did not want this little monster. But couldn’t live without him now.

I see someone is getting all cosy with the dog.

2. Husband: I don’t like dogs. Also Husband: I know she’s not allowed on the bed, but it’s thundering and she’s scared of thunder.

You know he has a soft spot for the doggo.

That’s a lot of effort just to pet the dog, isn’t it, dad?

20. “Ugh, little dogs are not my style”…Yeah, right, now look who’s camping together…

He probably realised smaller dogs are tougher.

It certainly doesn’t seem like they didn’t want a dog. These dad and doggo relationships are so wholesome. I remember when my dad told me I couldn’t keep a dog. I snuck one in anyway, and it soon became my dad’s dog. I would catch glimpses of him playing with the dog secretly and when I would tell him I saw him. He would act cool and brush it off. I don’t know what it is with dads, but at least they love our furbabies. Scroll down below to see more:
