A TEEN who put a puppy on her Christmas wish list only to be told it was “never going to happen” found a brilliant way to win her mom round.

All dog-mad Kayla Severi wanted this year was a Staffordshire bull terrier puppy and despite telling her mom Melissa she wanted one “more than anything in the world,” her request was turned down.

Determined to make her own Christmas miracle, the 18-year-old drafted a hilarious CV and cover letter to set out exactly why she was qualified for the role of taking care of a good doggo.

Her CV included claims of excellent time management skills, “hella money” to cover the costs of the dog, and the all-important qualities of love and kindness.

Incredibly, Kayla’s efforts paid off and her mom gave in to her pleas, allowing her to pick out and buy her very own puppy to bring home in time for Christmas.

Kayla, from Sydney, said: “I have two family dogs already, but my friend sent me a Snapchat of his cousin who is selling some puppies.

“I’ve been wanting one for ages and it’s Christmas, so I finally got the money from working all year and I feel like I’m old enough now to have my own dog and care for it.

“I live with mom, so at the end of the day it’s her house and her rules and if she doesn’t want a puppy, I won’t be able to get one.

“She already said that it wasn’t going to happen, but I didn’t want to give up that easily.

“I decided that my best chance for her to say yes was if I asked her in a really creative way.”
