It doesn't have to be that way: the best way to learn is by not repeating the mistakes of others, but we overpersonalise the situation if cute and innocent puppies were involved, and especially if we were the puppies. Compare that to the situation where you saw some idiot kid fuck himself up at school, and immediately learned not to do that. Why learn from the latter but not the former? The stakes in either situation are equally high. As to how we act, in the negation of what not to do there is the freedom to think and be creative; just be reasonable about it.
