How to teach children that animals aren't entertainment

My daughter wants a puppy but I know we'll probably get bored of it in a few years like we did with the fish and the hamster and I don't know how to explain that animals aren't toys without sounding hypocritical.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

We struggle to model respect for animal life when our culture treats pets as disposable sources of temporary joy.
