Billy's father had initially said they could not afford the dogs, but Billy's tenacity and a few years of hard work enabled him to buy them on his own. His family doesn't have a lot of money, and even though he worked hard and saved himself, I think he was worried about hearing anything negative...... he wanted to surprise them.
