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.
