We LOVE this article! Elves delivering shelter puppies on Christmas morning? This was a childhood dream of mine that never came true, so Ill live vicariously through these kids! ;) huff.to/1DH4TnU ...and to those of you that still believe in age old myths telling you not to give pets as gifts... In a scientific study conducted earlier this year and published in October, the ASPCA found that 96 percent of people who received pets as gifts reported it either increased or had no impact on their love or attachment to that pet. Also, 86 percent of the pets in the study are still in the home, a number roughly equivalent with the percentage of pets retained following a routine adoption. The survey further revealed no difference in attachment based on whether the gift was a surprise or known in advance. This supports previous studies conducted in the 1990s and 2000, which also found that pets acquired as gifts are less likely to be relinquished than pets acquired directly by an individual owner.
