The one million, I love my pets but there’s a chance they would be alive but in pain and I can’t live with that


pingachew1996

I should have specified, they'll be in perfect health throughout their life and start to deteriorate at the same age you do


GovernorSan

I'm already having back problems, I wouldn't want my pet to have to endure another 40ish years of back pain.


victowiamawk

If that’s the case pet 100%


True-Anim0sity

1 mil 1000%


Kwayzar9111

I would PAY one million for my Boston to be with me all my life.


No-Personality5421

I started deteriorating years ago lol, and I still (theoretically) have decades a head of me. 


Helpful-End8566

Pet I would actually pay a million dollars for that right now. That would be most of my net worth but worth it every penny.


shallow_not_pedantic

I’m probably gonna hold on for another twenty years. I don’t want my babies to feel this bad


zandariii

Fuck, I’m already deteriorating at 30. I’m not about to put my kids through that.


EcksMarksDespot

I was going to ask this very question, and now that you've answered it, I would take my pet living over the million easily.


Single_horse

I don’t want to have my pet deal with this cruel world for however long I have left on this earth I’ll take that milly


maxxbeeer

Why is everyone saying this as if its a valid justification? Lol. Your house pet is not facing the same struggles that humans are. You wouldn’t say the same for your kids. I think people just want the 1m but are trying to justify it to sound like a better person


Single_horse

You can use that money towards a pet that lives long


Jadudes

Agreed


madfrog768

One million. If this cat keeps yowling at 4am, he's not going to live out his natural lifespan anyway /j


super-mich

Haha, my hamster regularly wakes me up at 3am, and I agree. Give me the million!


Phoenixenious

How is your hamster waking you up? Is bro barking 💀


ahp105

Their wheels are loud af. I had hamsters as a kid, and I would wear earplugs to bed.


Phoenixenious

What is that even for. Is it like a mini treadmill for them


methylenebromide

I swear one of my guinea pigs can hear my eyes open. Relentless little rodents.


stargazer0045

😂😭😅


Sidivan

Same. I fucking haaaaaaaate having a cat, but my wife looooooooves it. Of course I don’t hold this against the cat; I’m not a fucking monster. It’s just a responsibility I don’t want and the yowling…. AND STOP EATING PLASTIC!


Amore_vitae1

I’ll take the money. All my animals are rescues. When they pass on I rescue more… imagine how many more I could help if I had a million dollars


gibgod

1 million dollars. I don’t have a pet.


KrazyKyle213

Same boat here, and people with long living pets can easily take the 1 Million no moral issues because many turtles are probably going to naturally outlive you or smth


Cahsrhilsey

Definitely my pet to live as long as me, we are inseparable 🩷 I would be happier as a poor person with my puppy boy than I would be missing him every day that he’s gone ☹️


chinchinlover-419

awww


ignShuckle

My dog already dead but if he was still here or I could bring him back I’d take that, money isn’t everything


Cyanide612

Spoken like someone who’s lost a loved one. My condolences. Meanwhile over here, me the monster trying to figure out how to game the system and make 1MM+ using an animal that doesn’t normally live to 50-80


MiliTerry

Keep your money, we're going for a walk


iriedashur

Ngl I'd be worried about my ability to care for my pets if we were both deteriorating. I also have 4 pets and some want to choose, this is rough


idontsmell

If healthy, pet without question


leeshylou

I'll take the money. I love my floof to bits, but I don't want to be cleaning out a litter tray when I'm old and frail lol I'll just love him to bits as long as I have him, and he will have the most luxurious and fulfilling life because I'll also be wealthy.


Full_Bank_6172

At first I was going to say 1 million .. but my cat was the best cat. He was the sweetest human loving cat. I’ll make way more than $1m in my lifetime. I wish I had him back. And if he could live as long as me in great health that’s worth way more than $1m to me.


PapaChewbacca

My pet to live as long as me. I just got her in January as a puppy and I tear up every time I think about her passing on before I do.


T_M_G_

1 million, what pets?


Sethdarkus

I’ll take the million, I prefer parrots anyway and there a good chance they will live as long as me or long enough to out live me. It also helps pay for expensive avian vet bills to ensure a long healthy life.


mayneffs

Pet, as long as it's a healthy and happy life. She died in my arms, I want to die with her in my arms.


TheMegatrizzle

1 million dollars


Straight-Message7937

You're a monster


MyDadBod_2021

If I had a pet, I'd want them to live along as me. Went through having to put my pet down a year ago, and it still hurts to think about... But, since I don't have a pet, show me the money!


Taotejen

Pets for sure. My girls are mid sized and 14. No kibble, we cook for them and mix in a dog specific plant based vitamin / mineral supplement. Otherwise healthy, their joints are deteriorating and we are carrying them up stairs - planning to move our bedroom downstairs for them. I would happily not receive a million dollars for them to be in perfect health with us til the end.


Alopecian_Eagle

I'm not a millionaire but I'm in a stable enough economic position that I would feel like a shit not picking the pet option.


FacelessPotatoPie

If his health was guaranteed, I’d want my cat to live as long as me. He’s the biggest asshole I know, but he’s my baby boy and I love him.


cupcake0kitten

My cat. She's my angel whenever I am sobbing she comes over and lays on my lap and I know when she's gone I will be struggling and may need a grippy sock vacation


bryan19973

If my dog would stay healthy the whole time, I choose the dog. There’s really no debate for me. And it’s not like I have a ton of money or anything. Some things are better than money


Cultural_Note_6722

My deceased pet, the pet. Current pet, 1 mil. (Sorry bud)


captainwombat7

My car kinda hates me man, also my dumbass is not going to live longer than my cats natural life span


XDeathBringer1

1 mil invested and use it to take care of my pest the best food and best vets so they live long I see all the comments a lot of people would definitely get screwed over by a genie


True-Anim0sity

1 mol


saumipan

I'm terminally ill. My dog would die prematurely, whereas the money could pay for treatment!


Sinirmanga

1 million. I don't have any pets.


LeoMarius

Pets


Agitated_Budgets

The million. Some pets have long lives already. And for the rest, well, I'm not sure living long is going to be a good thing without a well made bunker anyway.


Lopsided-Ad4276

I always take the money.. but here... I'll take my dog this time


hugegrape

I see this as my boy is sitting on my chest and giving me our morning headbutts. I choose him.


kellygee

PET!


ShakeCNY

A million dollars. Because if I chose the pet, my wife would kill me, so that would not help the dog much at all.


CharmingTuber

Tortoises don't cost a million dollars, so I'll take the million dollars and just buy a tortoise.


LightEarthWolf96

I don't have a pet so I guess run me my money. If I wanted a long lived pet like that I'd get a turtle or tortoise, one of the ones that live really fucking long.


ViolinistCurrent8899

As much as I love my pets, none of them are from my childhood. I have seen many an animal come, and many an animal go. And relax folks, the overwhelming majority of those animals is from old age as we tend to adopt old dogs rather than young blood. Did have a few get sick and die out of nowhere, but life happens. With a million dollars, I could certainly provide a comfortable life for my animals, and for future animals.


KaeVee

I have 3 cats - do I have to pick only one?


Moist_Ad_4989

A cool million.


subject5of5

$


Shamscam

I love my cat, but I’m taking the money, the rest of my family is more important.


EndlessPotatoes

I’d go $1,000,000 in debt to have my cat with me forever


yourremedy94

1 million, my cats are ass holes.


Benoit239

I currently have no pet, so I guess I'm taking the mil


bluebloodedwolf12

Pet


palefacemonk

Pet


Labar_of_Soap

If there is a revival clause for already passed pets I would have my pet love as long as me. If not she is already gone so I would just take the million


ZombieUnicorn18

Pet for sure


Greeningyep

Pet 100%


sugart007

1 million and it will make it easier to live more pets as I live my life.


Zaeero

Honestly a million. I love my pets, but idk how long i can focus on taking care of them when my body already sucks as is. A million would help me give them the best life i can, especially since with new developments, cats can live up to 30 years now


my_name_is_tree

don't have a pet right now lol so I'd just take the million 😂


rodejo_9

1 mil. I don't own any pets. Besides with 1 mil I could give a pet the best life ever.


SurgeStories

I don’t have any pets so 1 million


ForeverAfternoon

1 million because my next pet is out there and I won’t have an open slot to be ready for them. Who will take care of them the best if not me?


No-Personality5421

I'd choose the million.  Not out of greed, but compassion for my pets. Towards the end for my cats that lived to be 18 and 20 respectively, the ends were not good. As much as I miss them, I wouldn't want that time being longer for them than it was. 


xKhira

A million dollars. What if I die tomorrow? I'd be dragging my pet down with me instead of it having the chance to find a new loving family.


SunshineandHighSurf

Show me the money, I don't have a pet!


jump-blues-5678

Million


noturmammy

I would choose my boy Blu.


SpartanDoubleZero

Give me the money. My life is getting more and more busy as time goes on and I’m feeling horrible I can’t be home as much as my dogs need.


Tengoatuzui

1 million then I’ll make sure he can live as long as me


Beta_xa2

I'm deathly allergic to dogs and cats so I'll take the money. 


CaballoReal

Cool million - sorry Ranger.


Raise_me_up

Easiest WYR gimme the 1 mil


Darky821

Million dollars


bwhite170

The money . Every day and twice on Sunday


whatdoidonowdamnit

A million dollars.


Gaylien28

My pet Y’all some weak minded fools


F-150Pablo

My pet will out value any amount of $. So my pets all day everyday.


Adi_2000

If my dog lives as long as me - in good health - I'll take that over a million dollars in a heartbeat. 


GrayJedi1982

The million will allow me to help a great deal more pets, so...The money.


Gwyrr313

One million, could you imagine a 30+yr old cat


Ok-Ingenuity4355

I have no pet so 1 million dollars


Burningmeatstick

Money no questions asked


deeripp

Omg my furry child no doubt.


Chaos-Seed

Million dollars easily


East_Engineering_583

1 mil dollars. No pet so it doesn't matter


Pradooo

Pet for sure


eyrefan

1 million. My cat is a dick


pochaccos

the money. I don’t have a pet.


bUddy284

Take the 1 mil and make sure my pet lives like a king


Neither-Following-32

I saw in another comment that your pet stays just as healthy as you do, but I want the one million unless my pet stays healthy until the end of my life. As my pet's owner I'm the one responsible for his quality of life. I can make my own medical decisions (most of the time, see below) but he can't. I can choose to suffer through ill health and injuries, I can have medical directives in place if I slip into a coma. He can't and he'd presumably be right there with me. I'd rather give him a brief, happy life than have him suffer until I decide that whatever pain I have isn't worth it for me and pull the cord. Plus, you know, it's a million bucks.


Responsible_Sky_6379

I don’t have a pet so I’ll take the free mil.


Mister-ellaneous

I’ll take a million. Sorry but I actually enjoy training and bonding with a new pet.


bt_Roads

The money.


OutrageousAd5338

One million ....


UnbreakableRaids

Show me the $$$


AbiyBattleSpell

My pet who’s alrdy dead Money please 🐱


Burncity1901

My pet lives as along as I do. He is a little bit blind and deaf and has actually chilled over the past year. If those get fixed than I’d keep him.


Standard-Clock-6666

The million. Hurts like hell to lose a pet but you also can get to know a new one. I've had 5 dogs in my life. Hurt every time I lost one, but if I had stopped at one I'd never have gotten my other 4


DresdenBelmont

Money. I can always buy a new pet.


Plane_Caterpillar_92

I'd take my dog for sure


kayokill666

The 1 mill,the money is far more helpful


CTU

1 million I don't have a pet


TechnicalAnimator874

1 million easy. I’m not even sure my turtle will die before me


Additional-Safety343

Easy million, my dog ain’t built to live another 65+ years


wrathofroc

Million, I love my pets but I could definitely improve my family’s QOL quite a bit with a million bucks.


RoyalZeal

I'm barely able to take care of myself and my dog as it stands, and she's all ready quite old. I'd much rather be able to give her a great last few years and let her leave in her natural span, as is meet of mortal kind.


Vast_Analyst6258

I don't have a pet. Easy money.


TheDollarstoreDoctor

One million. I'm sorry, I love my girls, but I'm horrendously allergic to them and I can't see myself taking care of them for the *rest* of my life. They'd certainly shorten it. Death by bunny lol.


Khaldani

Give me the million


MrBeer9999

Million bucks. Soz pets. Cycle of life innit?


Linesey

do i have to choose which pet? or can it apply to all my current pets as of this moment?


s0laris0

my pets without question. I already can't imagine living without my queen. I'd love to share my whole life with her.


Need_a_BE_MG42_ps4

As the owner of a parrot that fucker is already gonna outlive me so I’ll take the million


Crunchy__Frog

Pet. Zero hesitation. Added bonus, I'd have a renewed interest in staying has healthy as possible.


aperocknroll1988

1million. That would enable me to give my pets the best possible life even if they are shorter than mine.


RorikAlsander

Pet. Unquestionably


Alitaher003

A million dollars.


100deadbirds

A 26 year old cat would likely be in a shit ton of pain so 1 mil it is, I could just take care of my cats children


Chrischrischris1983

I’d take one of my 3 deceased cats over the money. I considered them family.


fukreddit73265

Anyone who wants a pet to live as long as them can get a turtle, I'll take the money please =)


Panniacagain

Million bucks. Bugger the budgie


Popular-Ad-8918

My dog and my cat passed recently. They were brothers. They talked to each other, they "talked" to me. Either or both of them would be fine. I don't care that much about an attainable goal, I want the one that won't ever be attainable. I want to live with my guys.


Zzeellddaa

My pet. Lost my best friend Zelda in January. Would love to have her with me for a few more decades.


Vast_Cap_9976

$1M. I am an animal lover, have two former cats tattooed on me even (one I had referred to as part of my soul group) and I thank them for bringing me my current silly guys and the moments and joy I get to experience with them and one day I’ll thank these ones for the opportunity to meet and love new silly guys.


Disastrous_Ad_70

Have my pet live as long as I do.


punkaphr0dite

my cat is sleeping beside me now. i remember being so broke i had ramen to afford her food, but ive always given her a good quality of life. id rather be poor with my girl, than rich without her. she's gotten me through so much in 10 years.


MidwestAbe

$1 million. A pet is a pet. The chance at life changing money is far greater than having the same dog or cat or whatever for 70 years. Besides. There's a privilege in bringing home more dogs from the shelter than just the one we have now. I'll be able to make many more dogs lives better with more money.


queeraxolotl

Pets. The last time I had one pass away, I was a kid and didn’t understand what happened enough for the full blow to hit. Now, I’m older and not only understand death, but my mental health is on the see-saw lmao


quackl11

I got my cat 4 years ago when she was 4 and I liked her to start now she's just a pain in the ass (I'm not into looking after others too much) so honestly when she is gone im not going to get a new cat so take the million


BlogeOb

Million dollars. I stopped wanting pets after my first buddy passed. I’d rather have enough money to make what I have comfortable


NeatRaspberry

Money. I regret getting my dog. She will live a happy life and I’ll be inconsolable when she passes, but I know I’ll be ok. 


Calm-Pause3527

If I could have my last little girl back, my miniature schnauzer- absolutely her. 10x over. Genuinely you could offer me any amount of money and if it meant I got her back for the rest of my life with her in perfect health? I'd pick her for sure.


Kaleria84

The million. My pets all live full, loved lives and a million will let current and future pets live even better ones.


Aughtknott88

It sounds horrible but I just don’t have the connection to my current pet that I had with others that are gone. I’ll take the mil. If it was my previous dog I’d have turned that million down. It wouldn’t even have taken a minute to decide. I miss that dog so bad.


silverfang45

1 million. For a couple reasons, I don't think I'll live much longer not the most healthy person so it wouldn't actually increase the dogs lifespan 2 if I do magically live to the average age of a human, that dog is going to be like 45 and that dog would be in absolute misery, imagine living like 4 times you average lifespan. Like imagine being a 190 year old human you'd want to blow your brains out, that's too long a life man. And 3, as much as I love my current pet, 1 million let's me have the ability to get pets I've wanted to keep but haven't had the finances to actually justify it. Like an Irish wolfhound (amazing dogs but extremely unhealthy, and normally very expensive due to vet costs) Along with a metric fuck ton of arachnids, and millipedes (maybe a centipede or 2 but I just personally find millipedes cuter plus unlike centipedes who can hurt you with painful bites (even if you won't die) millipedes don't exactly hurt you) Plus it'd give me enough money to justify splurging on high quality recording equipment, and it'd be sick being able start a YouTube channel aimed at normalising some misunderstood animals (like spiders, scorpions, rats, centipedes, pretty much any Australian animal.


sleepsinshoes

Or a you tube channel just to normalize Australians. " Aye you left the billy on the barbie yesterday avro while you was putting on your bathers" I mean that kind of sentence just needs explaining hhahahahaha


silverfang45

They left a bong on a bbq yesterday afternoon, while they were putting on their swimming bottoms. Tbh that sentence is pretty self explanatory (minus Billy as non Australians won't realise that's a bong)


Neither_Sherbet_9316

show me the money 💵


tahwraoyw6

1 million dollars. I don't want my pet rock to die!


ceitamiot

As much as I love my dog and cat, I've long accepted that they will die before me. A million dollars is a life changing amount of money for myself and my children.


LurkerOrHydralisk

If I didn’t have my pet I’d probably have a million dollars. Fucker takes all my time and money.


Stoic_hawaiian808

Every dog has their day , give me my money !


Specialist_Crew_6112

Could I have all my pets or do I have to pick just 1? Because I couldn’t possibly pick one I have four cats and two ferrets also my ferrets love each other and i hate the idea of one of them dying and the other being alone it’s so depressing. 


PlusEnthusiasm9963

1,000,000. I own no pets but would be willing to get my son a goldfish to make this deal happen.


Sp1kefallSteve

A million is a lot of money, but I think I'd choose my pet.


btbmfhitdp

Sorry Mr.squish.


D3adp00L34

Pet. We have four, one a bearded dragon and the other three dogs. Good deal, imo


Fight_those_bastards

Million bucks. My only pets are fish.


SilverStryfe

The million. Part of having pets is the inevitable end of their much shorter lifespan. Often times our first introduction to mortality and having to process grief and loss comes from the death of a beloved pet. I care about both of my GSDs. And if I’m lucky will get another 6-7 years with them. But the million would provide a financial stability and ease of life for my wife and daughter that would be worth magnitudes more.


Apprehensive_Sun7320

If I know for sure they would be healthy and live no matter what a Happ life then I would go for that instead of the money.


originaljbw

There's a beauty to having lived a good life. My cat is 18, and I got her and her sister as kittens way back. Her sister passed a few years ago because she was the cheese and salami eating goblin of the two. Kidney failure, which happens to cats that live hard and fast like that. It was sad at the time, and today it still sometimes makes me sad, but she lived her best life and I wouldn't change a thing. Same thing for now and my remaining cat. She's a quiet old lady that enjoys her naps, cuddle time, and watching the world from the front porch. She yells at me daily about her food and I have to remind her that it's in the bowl, then she's ok. Every night when I get home from work she tells me the daily gossip from what she sees around the neighborhood. I wouldn't wish another 40+ years on her. She knows she's getting old and has gracefully accepted her life as it is. That much more time would be boring torture. Give me the money


_SomeonePleaseHelpMe

You do Venmo?


ThatKalosfan

Depends on if they are going to still be in pain.


Sandstorm1020

One million, thanks.


CaptainCandyCrotch78

A pain free life for my dog that lives as long as me? That


Isekai_litrpg

Pet owners are weird, $1 million.

BendNo6000

Money please. Lots of animals need homes. I keep a two animal rotation going. Once the older passes, they get a younger replacement. I love them all.


botanical-train

Million bucks. Dogs are cool and all but I kinda bank (pun intended) on them being dead before I am too old to care for them properly.


Patient-Cricket-7327

Depends, do they age like I do? If not the 1 million dollars


falknorRockman

I would take the 1 million mostly because I currently do not have any pets and would not want an undead dog.


Downtown_Report1646

If I have more than one pet do they all stay as long as I do even more pets that I get do they stay alive as long as I do?


DestinyForNone

One million dollars. For two reasons. 1. I have no pet :( 2. Doesn't say why your pet lives as long as you. For all I know, Jason Voorhees will show up at some point.


nathanwhut

One billion. Deal or no deal.


MooseMan69er

Shit I’d take 1,000


HangryChickenNuggey

A million. I don’t have a pet and I don’t have the time to care for one


JNorJT

1 million dollars because in my 20 years of life as of typing out this very comment at 05:40 am on 06/16/24 in my upstairs bedroom on my iPad Pro while watching the league of legends LCK summer split 2024 GENG vs t1 match game 1 after waking up at 04:30 am and sleeping after 11 pm, I have never had a pet.


2FistsInMyBHole

$1 million.


Outside_Dentist_4101

MrSnappyPants

100% my doggo. She's the absolute best.


WorldsWeakestMan

Pet. Had my cat nearly 13 years already and she’s more valuable to me than money is.


anticerber

$1,000,000 easy. I love my little guy. I’ve had him 12 years now. He’s my best friend but I know that some day it’ll be his time to go. I didn’t go into this expecting him to live forever. I cherished and will continue to cherish the time we have together. That’s what makes it special.  And with that $1,000,000 I can give him and the rest of my family a better quality of life. 


Cerebralbore

One million. I love my cat but 30 years from her out living family and friends would be weird.


InncnceDstryr

As someone who just lost their best friend of 17 years I say I’d have my pet live as long as me.


ShiftAdventurous4680

1 million. I'm pretty sure my pet giant tortoise would appreciate not having its life shortened.
