No one would ever accuse Hermione of being a dog lover. For the most part and with very few exceptions, she found the creatures to be entirely too hairy and too smelly. Her son begged and pleaded for a puppy when he was younger. Antonin would've given in to his demands if not for his wife refusing to allow any disgusting creature in their home. She knew that their son was too young to properly care for the animal. It would end up being her responsibility. To encourage her son to cease his cries, she promised him that when he was older and more able to care for a dog himself, they would revisit the request. It pacified him. She had been hoping for years that he would forget that he ever wanted one to begin with.
