In fiction, a common way to get a pet is to be given one as a gift. This is usually a puppy or kitten for someone's birthday or for Christmas. For Easter, sometimes a rabbit or chick is given as a present (and then given away not too long afterwards). This trope is a heartwarming way to start off A Boy and His X story or introduce a Loyal Animal Companion. Though this is frequently Truth in Television, it isn't advised. Animal welfare organizations and professionals universally agree that pets are a long-term commitment note a very long-term commitment: dogs often live fifteen years, cats up to twenty, and some exotic pets like turtles and parrots can reach 100 years of age that should be agreed upon by the entire household. Pets should also be planned and prepared for before buying. As the saying goes, "Pets are for life, not just for Christmas." |

Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom: The Palace can have a menagerie of exotic and local animals. Local wildlife can be caught by some gods and exchanged with other cities, who usually gift one from their climate in return (e.g. forest climates can supply pandas and tigers, desert climates can supply vultures and antilopes, etc.). There's no real effect on gameplay (except when the mission requires a certain amount of animals), but if the Palace is destroyed the animals will escape, and the predators will wreak havoc on your walkers. | |

Rocky Kwaterner: In "Perfect Gift", the Tikka Kids hastily have to find their mother Mary a present for Mother's Day after realizing they forgot all about it. Rocky, based on the gifts people use to give each other back in prehistoric times, decides he wants to give Mary a live chicken. First problem is to actually find one on such a short notice, which he manages with Theo's help. Then more trouble arises when the chicken escapes and Rocky has to find it. Eventually, he catches it just in time and gives it to Mary along with Theo and Luna's gifts. The chicken is not seen or mentioned again in later episodes. | |

The monkey freaked out and attacked him before escaping, traumatizing him for life. Later in the film, Drake and Josh gift the officer a new, kind chimpanzee as a pet, which softens the officer's heart and causes him to love Christmas again. | |

In the Sky One adaptation of Hogfather, despite Albert's advice against it, when Death-as-the-Hogfather leaves the hovel of a boy who asked for (amongst other things) "a puppy called Scruff", the boy's stocking is yapping. Given that the family is so poor he also asked for a pair of trousers he didn't have to share, it's probably as well we don't see the aftermath of this. | |

Courage the Cowardly Dog: In "Freaky Fred," we learn that Muriel's nephew, the eponymous demented barber Fred, was given a pet hamster when he was a lad who Courage's fur reminds him of. Unfortunately, as with the hamster, this inspires Fred to be... naughty. | |

In Bridge to Terabithia, part of the bonding between Jess and Leslie — the two protagonists who were the Only Friend to each other — have Jess giving Leslie a puppy he picked up at an adoption drive, some weeks after Leslie gave Jess a sketchbook and art set for his birthday. The Disney adaptation added a throwaway line from Leslie earlier on, with her remarking randomly "I'd love to have a dog." | |

Friends: In "The One with a Chick and a Duck", Joey buys a chicken from an animal sanctuary as a gift for Chandler after seeing (and misunderstanding) a news report about people who buy chicks for Easter, and then find they cannot properly care for them. Chandler tries to return the chicken, but changes his mind when he finds out the chicken is most likely going to be euthanized, and instead buys a duck. The two birds continue to make appearances in the rest of the series until after season 6. | |

When the Dowager Countess on Downton Abbey storms off to France to avoid saying anything to her daughter-in-law she can't take back, she makes it perfectly clear who she is and isn't angry with by leaving a puppy for her grown son Robert, an established dog lover who promptly dissolves into a gooey pile of Cuteness Proximity. | |
