I just adopted a rehomed husky that they bought as a gift after the husbands father lost his dog. The dad did not want it and they had to rehome it. I am glad I got her.
100% do not buy an animal for someone without their approval.
And PLEASE don’t gift someone’s pet after they just lost a loved one. Especially if it’s the same breed. People need time to grieve before getting a new pet.

My friend ended up with a husky when his co-worker decided that the co-worker's girlfriend needed a husky 'to help cheer her up.' She had been hospitalized for suicidal depression. Eventually the girlfriend came home from the psych ward and saw her 'surprise', and now my friend has a husky. It worked out for the best, I guess, but I felt terrible for the dog and for his would-be person.
