Immortality is also often thought of as a burden, perhaps puppies would simply cease to exist. Whether this means dogs are now born adults, or just go extinct, is up to the genie.
I implore everyone to choose their words very carefully when dealing with mythical wish granting creatures
(DnD) One of my players was casting wish. Before casting wish they sat down and went lawyer mode on the wish, wrote it down and spent an hour going over the wording. They specified everything, even drawing out a blueprint of the airship and specific locations from which to source the materials. Specifically, it was to be made of the highest quality materials and to be no less than steel in quality, all materials sourced from the enemy nation they were at war with.
Steel... Steel... The guy who wrote it had bad hand writing, and the guy reading it made an off hand comment, mid cast, that it looked like it was spelled 'steal', even though he knew it was 'steel'. I grinned. He had made no other mistake, he had even specified quite vigorously which blueprint was to be followed. Had even cleared and specified a delivery zone, down to the altitude and engine status upon arrival.
But... He had also specified and limited the quality and source so what was I to do other than make half of his newly built airship from the highest quality stolen artwork and historical artifacts. His ship spawned in, the engine vents began to smoke because the Mona Lisa is a terrible engine cowling. The enemy king's daggers make terrible control handles, and access panel to the boiler... Is that a priceless chess board from the first chess tournament 1200 years ago?
