His Dog Ran Away, But She Looked So Happy With The Family Who Found Her That He Left Her, And Now His Family Says He’s Heartless
This guy used to have a beautiful black Labrador retriever. But, about nine months ago, she sadly ran away from home.
“She was too smart and learned to open the gate,” he recalled.
After realizing that she was missing, he was devastated, too. So, he and his family began searching high and low for their beloved pet.
First, they scoured the community and began posting about their dog in every missing pet group on Facebook. They also posted a ton of fliers throughout their neighborhood.
However, time kept passing by, and they never had any leads as to where their pet might have gone.
“And after a month, we just learned to live without her,” he said.
But then, this past weekend, he received a “miraculous” message. A woman had found his dog, and thankfully, she was safe and sound.
According to the woman, his dog was being well cared for. The woman’s family, who found his pet, had also become extremely attached to her.
Still, the woman offered to give him his Lab back, which is why he and his family went to see her.

Well, upon arriving, he realized just how happy his pet was in her new home.
“They had land, so she had more room for running. Also, they had kids, and that dog loves kids!” he explained.
That’s why, when it came down to it, he decided to leave his dog with the woman who found her.
Now, that was obviously a very heartbreaking decision to make. But, in his mind, he and his family had already “learned to live” without their dog.
He also didn’t want to wish that same pain on the people who found her, and he realized just how happy and well cared for his old pet was at her new home.
While he believes that he made the right decision, though, his family has actually begun accusing him of being heartless! Apparently, they feel like he just “disposed” of his pet.
“But I don’t feel like I disposed of her. She is not in the streets; she is in a happy household,” he vented.
Regardless, with his family now angry at him, he can’t help but wonder if opting not to bring his dog back home after she ran away was really the wrong decision.
Can you understand why his family is so upset? At the same time, does it sound like he did what was best for the pup? How would you have handled this situation had you been in his shoes?
