Men Falling In Love With Pets They Claimed They Didn't Want

Do you have a dad, husband, grandfather, or other male relative who swore that he didn't want a pet? Only to later fall head over heels for the pet and spoil it constantly? This is hilariously enough a tale as old as time... Here at I Can Has Cheezburger we've been in the animal content game for long enough to watch hundreds of men eat their words about adopting an animal. We've covered a lot of content on this subject, from 13 photos of people who said they didn't want a pet eating their words, to a hilarious article titled men and the pets they claimed not to want, it's clear that men actually have no idea what they enjoy. 

Ahaha, we kid, we kid, but seriously, many people who swore off having a pet really enjoyed it in the end. That's why we're so excited to show you this wholesome compilation of men eating their words. Dare we say, it's just a teeny tiny bit satisfying? Honestly, almost everybody is a pet lover at heart, whether they admit it or not. So let's hop to it and present to you our delightful and funny collection of men bonding with the pets they said they never wanted to adopt in the first place. Ah how the tables have turned!

    Comfort - Homebound Traveller ... @BeeFlownFar Replying to @girlsreallyrule Meet the man who was not ever never getting a dog, no matter what. And if we did get a dog he wasn't going to be the one to feed it or walk it or cuddle it. And it'd never be allowed on the sofa. He's under there, honest.

    Hmm, if we can decipher this image correctly, it looks like what we're seeing is a giant chonky floofer perched gently on top of a sleeping man eating a giant dose of humble pie. You don't hate the dog anymore, do you? Ah, imagine this guy refusing to cuddle a dog. Such a foolish thought, everyone is a dog person, all it takes is the right dog to make that happen!

Replying to @girlsreallyrule Here is the now 10 yr old brown and white standard parti poodle, Eli, who gets called outside with dad every morning to welcome the day; and, when the weather is cold, gets wrapped up afterward by the same dad who swears that he's only nice to Eli as a way to get into heaven...
