16 Dads Who Did Not Want Pets And Who Fell In Love With Them Anyway

It's a story as old as time itself - when a dad claims to not want a pet, and then, inevitably, those dads reluctantly break down and get a pet anyway. They will act as if those pets don't even exist, they will tell you that those pets are entirely your responsibility and that that want absolutely nothing to do with those pets. It will happen. It always happens. And then, just as predictably, those dads fall on love with the pets they didn't want.Of course, the dads keep pretending to be aloof when it comes to these pets. It doesn't even matter whether they are - in that moment - holding the dog in their arms or have the cat sprawled out on their bellies. They will pretend, and we will take pictures to send in the family group chats later. Sigh, we love stories of dads and the pets they 'didn't' want, that's one of our all-time favorite genres.
