There are certain things that people won't compromise on and one of them is having pets in the house: dad, mom, boyfriend or girlfriend may refuse to have a hairy being around and the excuses are "I don't like them ”,“ they leave too many hairs ”,“ they dirty everything ”,“ they cost too much ”. This is their position, and they have no intention of compromising. The situation changes, however, when you show up with an animal without their consent. The first few days will be a battle but, after looking the little one in the eye and having pushed themselves to have some contact with the pet animal, their hearts will start to melt. This is demonstrated by these photos, in which people who initially did not want an animal now treat it as a child under the pleased gaze of those who, on the other hand, really wanted an animal in the family.
