GETTING A DOG is a big responsibility.
One dad decided to ensure his kids knew what they were getting into when they begged him for a new puppy, so he created a massive extensive contract they had to sign.

The contract was written two years ago by the dad for his kids, aged 10, 11, and 13 when they signed.
It was brought to light this week by Redditor R Johnstone and includes a whopping 13 terms and conditions including:
The dog can is not included by name on the family Christmas card. Also, if there is a picture of the dog on the family Christmas card it shall be merely incidental.
Dad has unrestricted veto over the dog’s name.
The dog is never referred to as a child or a sibling. All parties agree that the dog is a dog.
The kids were more than happy to sign.
It looks like all is going well:
Two weeks after the contract was signed, we got a three year old white fluffy mutt from a shelter that weighs 15 lbs., was already house trained and doesn’t shed or drool. We named him Kershaw (veto power not exercised).
Totally worth it.
