A DOG IS for life, not just for Christmas. This little girl must be keenly aware of that, as she’s prepared to go the extra mile to get a puppy.

Twitter user @Karenwq4 from Galway posted this amazing letter her 9-year-old daughter wrote after receiving a telling-off for forgetting her schoolbooks.

In it, she clearly lays out her terms for doing better in school.

Evocative. This girl has a future in writing. But it’s all about the kicker:

PS Everyone else in my class is getting a dog this year.

Karen has since tweeted that they’re looking into getting a dog. See kids? Threatening to swim in elephant poo WORKS.
