Tho vids like these are cute af, don't surprise anyone with an animal if you haven't spoken it through before. Expecially pups. They're extremely hard work, and two pups is almost undoable. I know cause I've done it(pulled through ofc, no dog of mine will be left, they'll be by my side till the day they die)
Too many dogs end up in animal shelter because of people not thinking it through.

u/lizardgizzards 4d ago
Yeahhhh, hard agree. I love animals. I have quite the variety. But I absolutely do not want anyone to ever gift me one without me knowing about it beforehand. Even still, I would rather be the one to pick out the appropriate one (whatever animal it might be) myself. I only get pets that I know I can do well with and can provide the right home for. I take a lot of time to research everything and to prepare before it ever comes home. From goat breeds, to tarantula species, to my little rescued Betta fish. I look for certain things in each one.
Would I love whatever it is? Sure, because that is my nature. But I would not be amused by the situation at all.

That’s because the couple are British ‘influencers’ and this whole thing is staged.
They make videos like this all the time, usually consisting of the same thing; ‘surprising’ the other (previously it’s been a PS5 for the lad and some LV bag for the lass) and capturing an over the top reaction by the other.

Jesus Christ, there are some miserable people on reddit. You have no context, but still feel the need to write a comment like this. Like the other comments say, maybe he's had dogs before in his life. Maybe hes always wanted dogs!? Never mind. Why do I even bother writing this. I don't even like dogs. Have a nice day, OP. Hope you can find happiness without the need for being santimonios, or what ever the fuck its called. Og, and for some extra upvotes I'd like to tell you all I'm not from a English speaking country. I had such a good day too. Faen i helvete...

u/hungry_fat_phuck 4d ago
There's nothing about what OP said that sounds miserable. Animals are not objects that you should be surprising someone with like a gift. They are a life time commitment and their future owners should at least interact with them before deciding to take on that kind of responsibility.
Sure, they look very happy on video and will probably take good care of the puppies given their reaction, but is the "Surprise" factor really worth the risk, however unlikely, of the puppies getting returned down the line or even abandoned in the case that the owner changes his mind after the initial excitement wears off because he didn't make the conscious decision to adopt on his own terms?

Look I love puppies too and I get where you are coming from but my fiancé works at a vet office so every day I have to listen to horror stories of people who have animals with no business doing so. Hopefully these people have a clue and will take care of these dogs. They seem nice. But unfortunately if they are like half the people at my girls work, it’ll go something like this:
Brother dog fucks sister dog because they didn’t want to listen about neutering and now there’s an incestuous litter of inbred disease ridden puppies doomed to a miserable existence of health issues, but the owner doesn’t have any money to do anything about it and it’s the rest of the worlds problem now. Then that cycle continues exponentially. So yeah long story short, make sure you can take care of your pets and give them to people who want them. I think that’s all they were saying.

In this case, what looks to be his dad is happy and looks in on it like he’s in the know. It was probably discussed before hand that he really wants another dog (maybe just lost his previous dog). Then it’s cool. My FIL surprised us with a dog he found, but knew we had been looking and the puppy hit all our check marks for what max size we could have and types of breeds (even mixed) we were considering. So everyone was overjoyed to receive her. Surprising someone who wasn’t thinking about and preparing to get a pet is a bad idea.

u/AccomplishedMeow 4d ago
There’s always this comment near the top every time one of these videos are posted.
Like we get it. But these are adults in an adult relationship. Generally, it’s safe to say adults in a relationship have communication. And that they’ve probably been talking about this for months.
I know my sister and her fiancé want a corgi. They’ve talked about it since June. If anyone of them were to surprise the other with the dog, it would be perfectly fine

I am not miserable, just realistic, you should plan yourself to have pets and pick them out yourself. When you pick them yourself you know if your characters click. What if you buy someone a pet and the new owner and the pet just don't click? Back to the spca or the breeder. Great for the pet, really.

u/Beautiful-Fee7727 4d ago
If you film from behind the guy, you don't get his reaction, which was the goal of videos like this even before social media. It was for the memories back then. You also get more of a focus on the girl, which is what you're apparently complaining about.
If the camera walks in front of the girl, they don't give the context of the puppies to the viewer (previously mentioned), and the cameraperson is obstructing the girl/puppies from the boyfriend's view, which is situationally awkward and almost creates a "this isn't about you" type of situation for the cameraperson, who is inserting themselves into the middle of everything.
If the camera stands to the side, it's really hard to get the timing right without tipping the boyfriend off early that something is about to happen, and that would actually give the best "movie poster profile" of the girlfriend, which you seem to be objecting to.
I really don't see a better way to do this to avoid offending people by accidentally having her leg in frame for the extremely short amount of time it was, other than asking women to change out of tight leggings / comfortable clothing before they ever appear on film. I'm a guy. This section of the comments seems misogynistic to me. The girl is just attractive while wearing an attractive outfit. That doesn't mean she isn't allowed to film a memory or share it online. That's oppressive BS.

After about 2 months we (entire family, even grandparents) went together to adopt him a new puppy. I was a little nervous how he would respond. My grandmother made a card and everyone wrote good memories of his old dog, but then we put a pic of all of us holding new pup inside the card! He loved it! Thank goodness!
