The Kardashian-Jenner family's love for animals has been extensively documented, and this trait has already been inherited by their children. In June 2017, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian presented their daughters, Penelope and North, with twin Pomeranian puppies. Penelope, who is Kourtney's child with former partner Scott Disick, named her puppy Honey, while North, Kim's eldest daughter with ex-husband Kanye West, opted for the name Sushi. However, the addition of Sushi to the family did not fully satisfy the Skims mogul.
During a December 2017 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim remarked to her older sister, "Your dog is significantly more composed." They had attempted to exchange dogs, and Kim noticed a change in Honey's behavior towards her. With confidence, she stated, "I could tell that she prefers my company now. She has adapted. Look at how relaxed she is. You're not reclaiming her."
Eventually, Kourtney managed to rectify the situation and bring Penelope's beloved dog, Honey, back home. In a later confessional, Kim begrudgingly conceded, saying, "Fine, I suppose she can have her dog back, and I'll just have to tolerate Sushi's incessant barking from now on."

Kardashian-Jenner Kids Love Snuggling Their Pet Dogs and Cats: North, Stormi and More
The fact that the Kardashian-Jenner family has a deep affection for animals is widely known, and they have already instilled this love in their own children. For instance, in June 2017, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian presented their daughters, Penelope and North, respectively, with twin Pomeranian puppies. Kourtney's daughter, Penelope, selected the name Honey for her new furry friend, while Kim's eldest daughter, North, chose to call her puppy Sushi. It is worth noting, however, that Kim was not particularly enthusiastic about the arrival of Sushi into their household.
Kim complimented her older sister, stating that her dog was much calmer after they attempted to exchange dogs. She claimed that Honey now preferred her and stated that Kourtney would not be getting her back. However, Kourtney was ultimately able to trade the dogs and bring Honey back to Penelope. Kim reluctantly admitted in her confessional that she would have to tolerate Sushi's constant barking.
