Trade Accepted >>>> Pup Protection!!

Today I had the very unfortunate experience of a puppy death. We all know that feeling...
However, this particular death was very unusual to me.

Allow me to explain:

I placed an offer on a trade for a pup yesterday, and it was sat there for some time... it was getting late, and I decided to go to sleep.

I woke the next morning, logged into Wolvden and had to roll over. There was a notification... my offer was accepted!
Wonderful, I was very excited to have the puppy I really wanted in my den!

But wait a minute... I couldn't find the pup anywhere.
I checked the trade notification and the blank icon of the wolf that was in the trade lead me to a text error of: "Cannot find this wolf!"

Oh no...
Low and behold, I checked my pack member dynasty and my new pup had died!

I didn't have time to protect it due to the time difference and being unavailable before rollover. So I lost a beautiful G2 T3 merle and paid a whole lot of valuable items / GC for.... nothing

I sent a ticket, but moderators could not help with this. It is the responsibility of the buyer to check that a pup is protected or if it has a low survival rate.

But - when you're in a situation like this one, and you're not available during your 'out of hours' ie. sleeping time, and you've no choice but to rollover to an uncertain fate? I feel strongly that something should be done to put a safe guard in these situations.

Whether it is for example,

A _____ hour period of automatic protection for the pup once a trade is accepted, and after that time is up - you have full responsibility of making sure its protected from then on...

or perhaps any trades with a pup in it, once accepted has a secondary button for you to confirm its arrival into your pack, and its protection 'roll' would only start from that time period... a bit like the gift feature. You know theres a gift waiting for you, but until you click and accept it yourself it isn't wholly there.

I'll certainly be more careful in future, but I do feel strongly that this is more of a game error than a player fault and I'd hate to see this happen to anyone else.

Thank you for reading this far, and for any support of this feature

Just found another suggestion with pretty much the same end goal, so please lock/remove this one mods ^^
