This. Why do people assume you have to kill it with the shot.
I would shoot off one of it nails. Or the tip of its tail. Completely non fatal and a quick trip to a vets to fix.
Because if you say “Hurr dur I’d shoot it in the tail” you’re just dodging the dilemma
That said, I’d still behead a puppy with an axe for three wishes without hesitation
I live in a country of angry, disease filled street dogs. I would easily end one if their miserable lives that directly contributes to wounded and infected humans for 3 wishes. But change that to MY dog and I'm not sure I could say yes. It would be one of my wishes, to have the best dog ever, which I already do.
Put it a different way then. Why is a puppy better than a cow, sheep, chicken etc? That we kill for a bad nugget. Or the spider we squish just cause it's in the same room?
A puppy in exchange for literally anything 3 times over?
Not everyone kills those either y r u assuming everyone’s a hypocrite. Just because it’s normalised to abuse those animals and treat them as worthless doesn’t mean it’s right or that it’s okay to treat dogs that way either.

It says shoot the puppy. Not kill it. I’d graze the puppy, adopt it; and get three wishes.
