I still remember it was in the winter of 1990 that, together with the help of my older sister, I　　　 down my wishes for Christmas onto a piece of paper. How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be 　　　 　 and placed under the Christmas tree — a puppy. When we were done, our wish-lists were collected by our parents with the promise to be 　　　 　 to Santa's hard- working helpers.

The next day, our parents sat us down in the living-room, with 　　　 expressions on their faces. As it 　　　 , they had seen our wishes, now wanting to talk to us about one wish 　　　 — the puppy. For a moment, I held my breath, but was 　　　 　 when they told us that they weren't against a puppy. What they 　　　 　 against was putting it under the Christmas tree. That was not a good idea.

They 　　　 taught us that an animal was not a gift that belonged to the same 　　　 　 as our toys. Animals were creatures with 　　　 　 that we should decide to have one, and it would be a(n)　　　 to our family. An animal 　　　 　 a lot of responsibilities. It wasn’t anything one bought out of a mood. An animal could not be exchanged or 　　　 when we didn't feel like it. An animal wasn’t a toy. An animal was a 　　　 　 family member that needed lots of love and attention. An animal was not a 　　　 , but a family decision. A serious decision. And a big decision.

　　　 　 , my parents share my love for animals, so the decision came reasonably 　　　 . After our grandparents had given their 　　　 up for taking care of the dog, while we were on future vacations, the answer was yes. Yes, we would get a puppy.

The following days and weeks, there was only one 　　　 : our new family member! Yes, a family member, because animals have their rights. They are not simply food or gifts. We humans must attend, love and protect them.
