At the Grammys on Sunday, host James Corden didn’t just dish out those little golden gramophones. “Consolation puppies” were also handed out to nominees who didn’t win their category.

Jerry Seinfeld (who was nominated for Best Comedy Album) was given a puppy called Roxy and Corden described her as “a biter”.

But not everyone was so thrilled about living puppies being handed out as prizes.

Very disappointed that the #GRAMMYs chose to gift puppies as a joke. Animals are not toys. #AdoptDontBuy

Not only the sheer stupidity of giving out puppies at the #GRAMMYs but PUG puppies with potential #BOAS breathing problems.

I’m pretty sure “consolation puppies” should be mandatory for all disappointing situations in life. #Grammys
