yearsBut some people still haven't quite got the message
The slogan still holds goodSome 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season
The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given
But Eleanor Silk, the Trust's communications director, says, \after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn't been trained properly and has caused damage around the home\
In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do itPuppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small childrenIt's hard to meet any of these needs at ChristmasWhat's more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to childrenIt encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility
Appreciating what you're taking on with a dog can be a sobering （清醒的） realization\
