Woman Asks If She Is Wrong For Refusing To Give Her Co-Worker Her Dog Back

Providing dogs with a loving home may seem obvious, but reality can be more complex. While many people adore dogs, it’s disheartening to acknowledge that some dogs suffer at the hands of their owners. It’s perplexing why people would do this. If they know they can’t properly care for a dog and give them the love they need, why get one in the first place?

At first, it seemed like an easy task for this woman when her co-worker asked her to care for the dog. She gladly welcomed the new addition to her family. However, she soon realized that the dog was malnourished and hadn’t been treated well. She dedicated herself to nursing the puppy back to health, but things took a sour turn when the co-worker demanded the dog’s return. As expected, she stood her ground and refused outright.

The story can be read in its entirety below.

The use of quotation marks around “owner” is entirely appropriate in my view.

When asked to care for the doggo, the woman happily accepted another furry companion.

However, she noticed that the dog was in poor health and had not been treated properly.

Things were going well for the doggo in its new loving family.

Everything changed when the co-worker demanded the dog’s return, but the story’s poster firmly refused.

I’m truly relieved that the dog found a loving home, considering it had not been cared for before. The dog’s obvious malnourishment suggests the co-worker didn’t genuinely care about its well-being. While the co-worker claims her kids miss the dog, it’s likely just embarrassment seeing the pup thrive after giving it away. I hope the co-worker never acquires another animal, as they clearly don’t deserve one.

People sided against the co-worker in the comments.

I wholeheartedly agree with their stance.

The co-worker had her chance, and she squandered it.

She no longer deserves the dog.

The pupper deserved a loving family.

People were happy that the doggo found a better home.

The dog was clearly neglected.

Commenters advised her to keep proof of the dog’s current condition.

And it’s not as if the co-worker has any proof.

The woman is entirely right in this scenario.

There is no valid reason for the dog’s return.

She deserves congratulations for making the right decision.

It was her choice to give the dog away.

The dog is certainly fortunate in this situation.

And the pupper deserves it.

I’m concerned about the other doggo as well.

But it appears the other doggo is doing fine.

A dog is a living being, not a toy.

We can only hope the doggo remains safe and well.

To brighten your day, here’s a delightful red panda tax!

Who knew red pandas could be so adorable? As much as I’d love to have one, it’s unfortunate that keeping them as pets isn’t legal. Regardless of their cuteness, I would never force a wild animal into a confined space.
