That doesn't mean you can't go visit him! Plus, you could go get one from your local shelter and they could become friends!

Better late than never!

You need to start barking up their tree so that you can be around him.

Puppies are adorable, just go visit! Or get one on your own!

Get your own puppy

If you dont live with them whats stopping you from getting your own?

They could easily live in a dorm or in some apartment/house, where they aren't allowing pets.

Right?

My boyfriend wants a dog badly, but his work life stops him from being able to. He lives alone, works most of the day and travels weeks at a time for it. There are lots of reasons you can't when you move out. Not having time for a pet is a big one.

Plus, OP wanted a pet while growing up. It's kind of a bummer to want something really badly and your parents never let you, only for them to get it for themselves when you're mostly out of the picture.

OP could always move back home!

Adopt one from a local shelter!

What mean parents OP! Just try and convince them to give it to you, or just adopt one!

Steal it

Maybe they never trusted you to be mature enough to take care of it.
