Replacement pets generally aren't a good idea, IMHO. My sister lost a beloved dog (we think it was stolen), and got a new one, but never formed the same bond with the new pet. I think you are right that it would be best to return the puppy. Consider getting another dog or other pet at a later date, but don't think of it as a replacement for puppy you lost, because it won't be.
A car killed my puppy. IIN to hate the new puppy my parents got?
