A furious debate has erupted on social media after a woman explained what answer she gave after a stranger offered to buy her dog.
Being offered $200,000 for just about anything sounds like a good day in my books, but one woman on social media has indicated she was less than pleased after a stranger offered to buy her dog for the amount.
Tik Tok user Alexis Elliott shared her story on her itsalexiselliott page and explained the money simply didn’t sway her.

She insisted her dog was part of her family and more importantly was her baby. This seemed to baffle some social media users who questioned how she could possibly turn down the massive sum down.
In the video Elliott said: “Someone offered us $200,000 for our puppy and i told my husband absolutely f****** not because I birthed her.
“Would you guys sell your dogs for 200k? Like, that is my baby. That is my baby, I birthed her, that is my child.
“Like, there is no money, I would not sell her but it just got me thinking. I wonder if people would have taken that 200k, and this was like legit.
Would you do it? Personally, while I do not own a dog, I would sell any and every dog I could find if someone was willing to pay almost a quarter of a million dollars for it.
Some social media users seemed to agree with me and let Elliott know in the comments.
“I would absolutely without even thinking about it LMAO,” one user commented.
“Honestly yes lol 200k would change my life. as long as they seemed like good people,” added another.
“Would run upstairs so fast and pack his bag,” said another user.
“I absolutely would!! plus you did not birth that dog. They're not real babies,” commented another.
However, some users were disgusted that some people would even consider it and sided with the TikToker.
“A lot of you in these comments don’t deserve a dog,” one user commented.
“Why are ppl saying yes, we are the light of our dogs lives. no amt is enough to sell my baby,” said another.
“ABSOLUTELY NOT. The people saying yes should not have a dog tbh, that boy is my life,” another dog lover said.
“In no lifetime would I ever sell my dog for any amount of money. Ever." That settles that then.
