Woman rejects $200k offer for her puppy
A woman has divided social media viewers after she claiming that she declined a stranger's $200k ($303,000 AUD) offer for her Doberman pinscher puppy.
In the viral video, which has since racked up over 970,000 views, Alexis Elliott said: “someone offered us $200k for our puppy, and I told my husband, ‘absolutely f**king not’.”
“Would you guys sell your dogs for $200k? Like, that is my baby!" the LA-based woman asked her followers.
Many couldn't believe that she declined the offer.
“It’s a crime to not accept 200k,” one wrote.
“In this economy? Yes,” another commented.
“Would run upstairs so fast and pack his bag,” a third joked.
While some people were eager enough to give up their own dogs for $200,000, others agreed with Elliot and said that they would never give up their fur babies.
“ABSOLUTELY NOT. The people saying yes should not have a dog tbh,” one viewer commented, adding: “That boy is my life.”
“A lot of you in these comments don’t deserve a dog,” another slammed.
“Omg never. The thought of my dog being confused and feeling abandoned breaks my heart,” a third commented, while another user added that they wouldn't sell their dog even if they were offered one million dollars.
One sceptic added: “Nobody offered you 200k for a dog, people with that kind of money are mostly financially smart. And you did not birth it."
A few others came to Elliot's defence and said that it had happened to them in the past.
“Someone offered me 100k for my dog. He was a pretty well-off athlete. Not everyone is smart with their money,” one commented.
“I had a lady offer us $1M for our dog, and when we laughed she said, ‘No seriously, make me an offer, I’ll pay it’,” another claimed.
