Yikes! Pete Davidson<\/b><\/a> was blasted by fans for buying a dog instead of adopting one with his girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On Thursday, June 1, it was reported<\/a> that the Saturday Night Live<\/i><\/a> alum, 29, and his Bupkis<\/i> costar<\/a>, 27, were seen purchasing a new furry friend from CitiPups in New York City. The pet store shared a video via its Instagram Stories earlier that day of the couple standing at the counter, finalizing the details of their newest family member.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n While it was a happy moment for Pete and Chase<\/a>, multiple social media users didn\u2019t agree with their decision to buy their new cava-poo instead of adopting one.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cADOPT DON\u2019T SHOP BRO,\u201d one Instagram commenter wrote under a photo of the duo in the pet store. \u201cBuying a dog? Disgusting,\u201d another weighed in. \u201c[Pete Davidson], you missed being a good person in this part,\u201d a third wrote, adding, \u201c#adoptdontshop. Rescue dogs will bring a lot more love and support than you will ever imagine.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Despite the slew of negative comments Pete received, other fans chimed in to defend him.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLet them live their lives and do what they want,\u201d a fan commented, whereas another added, \u201cI wish people would mind their own business. I\u2019ve adopted rescues, and I\u2019ve bought puppies. Who cares?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Though Pete hasn\u2019t responded to the online criticism, his recent purchase of his and Chase\u2019s dog comes less than one month after he mourned the loss of his late pup, Henry. On May 5, the comedian shared a heartfelt tribute<\/a> to his adorable dog via pal and Bupkis<\/i> writer Dave Sirus<\/b>\u2019 Instagram account.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHey guys. I know today is the Bupkis<\/i> premiere day, but I wanna use today to remember my dog Henry,\u201d Pete wrote alongside a carousel of pictures of the precious puppy. \u201cYesterday, we lost a key member of the Davidson family. Henry was only 2 years old but unfortunately got very sick very fast. My mom, sister and I got Henry at the beginning of the pandemic, and he saved our lives. Not sure I\u2019d even be around without him. He was the happiest and sweetest dog ever. He used to get excited when he saw me and would pee everywhere. When I was working at SNL,<\/i> my mom would send me videos of him watching, smiling and making noise when I came on screen.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
