Well, the way that I got my parents to get my sister and I a puppy was to actually babysit the kind of dog that we wanted, and my dad grew to love that kind of dog! Hope this helps!

you should ask your mom to talk to him....or you can ask is there anyway that can show that you are responsible enough to have pets..
hoped i helped...♥ alley

the same thing happened to me.. what me and my mom did was just buy the puppy and surprise my dad with it.. he was mad at first.. but then i proved to him that i could take care of it myself.. he realized i was responsible enough for it. and he wasnt mad anymore and got used to the puppy. now he loves the dog. =)
hope it works out for you..

yeah the same thing happend to me.. even after having the dog for almost a year he still thinks we shouldnt have gotten her but anyways.. what i did was i just kinda looked on line at puppys at local shelters online (i can give you the website if you want) and my parents wanted to wait to get a dog (not a puppy) a few monthes longer because we just put our last dog to sleep less than like 3 monthes before. well we found the cutest puppy in the world online and i convinced my mom to drive 2 hours to see it but my dad was still no way no puppy in this house ever.. well my mom fell in love with her too and we dragged my dad out there the following week b/c it was mothers day and my mom had to see her again and my dad like her but still said we werent going to care for her etc.. and basically begged him til her couldnt take it anymore and told her we could never live without her... and he finally said yes! (even though we secretly signed for her the week before he saw her).
so basically find one you want and make your dad fall in love with her.. and eventually her will (no matter what he says)

You could leave it to your mom, OR you could ask him for a way for you to show how responsible you could be. hope this helps!

leave it to your mom she will talk your dad into it or do some chores around the house that will prove you worthy

Keep your room clean. Do the dishes. Show him you're responcible.
Or even try to make a deal with him. Say you'll do something for two months without forgetting to show him you are responcible and can handle a dog.
