My dog was an hour away from being put down for aggression when the rescue found him. He’s never bit or even snapped at anyone. When I give him a treat he has the softest mouth of any dog I’ve ever had (including labs). Sometimes I’ll let go of the treat and it will drop out of his mouth because he’s holding onto it so lightly. The story bummed me out. The lady seems like a neurotic mess and the poor dog picked up on it and mirrored her. I’m sure the boyfriend treated it like a live grenade, which also doesn’t help. Owning a dog is like any other relationship, figure out the issues in your own life before you invite someone/something else into it.

As much of a joke 'I SEE YOU AND HEAR YOU' has become it's extremely rooted in how the affluent lib types genuinely view trauma. They've conflated 'it's good to talk about trauma with someone who can help you work through it' with 'it's good to talk about trauma to literally anyone who will listen' and have become so obsessed with validation porn above all else that they've created a whole industry around it that now has a vested interest in keeping itself alive by telling these same affluent libs 'you're better than those chud freaks because you know things are bad and it makes you feel bad, so come on our platform and talk about your traumas' as if that somehow leads to progress inherently. Like, that's exactly how you get the, as they called it, church of dog killing. You can't just say 'this situation made me feel horrible and the worst part was I knew it was in part my own failing that caused it', you have to have a support network of people going 'it was GOOD you did that, you actually are brave and heroic for telling this story'. The unsatisfying answer is genuinely just 'yep, you did a bad thing, you're not enough of a sociopath to not feel bad about it, though, so you just kinda have to live with that and let go of the past if you want to move on' but creating a whole cottage industry around trauma porn means you can never let go, so you have to keep poking a festering wound for that sweet sweet #engagement. It's almost hard to blame these people forming these communities just because yea no poo poo they need someone to absolve them of their sins by saying they actually did the good thing when they keep pumping out stories about their trauma! If I felt I had to write a whole rear end op-ed about some vile thing I did and feel bad about I'd probably want a bunch of people to tell me 'aw it's okay' too.

There are also tons of shelters that specifically take in hard luck dogs and this lady probably could've figured this out with a quick google search.

Got curious and found this in less than a minute by using my superior google skills (googled “New York beagle rescue”). https://www.magicsmission.com/about-us Inspired by Magic, we have an emphasis on senior dogs and dogs with special needs, and we feel strongly that these dogs deserve a chance at love and life. There are a bunch of other beagle-specific rescues in the are too.

Or, and I know this is gonna seem absolutely insane, what about taking her to go live on your parent’s giant rural country home where there is already another sweet old lady beagle for it to be friends with.

I mean, even if you are 100% convinced the dog is anti-social, you don't have to loving kill it. Provide it with the basic needs, take it out to poop with a muzzle on, and just let it live without forcing interactions. The only reason to kill it is because you don't value it if it isn't providing you emotional benefit. That said, my wife used to work at a no-kill shelter and they never had to put down a dog for biting, they just had a professional behaviorist on staff.

As the weeks went by and no new options appeared, I realized I had a choice: I could send her off with a stranger one day—someone she would certainly injure, and who would perhaps end up euthanizing her anyway—or I could allow her to leave this terrifying world peacefully with someone she loves. Yeah, I'm sure the dog was super thrilled to be murdered by you instead of living with someone that actually could take of her.

We had to put an animal down due to cancer during the pandemic and the vet let us be there with him. Maybe they just told her they euthanized the dog and gave it to someone that wasn't a monster.

I'm assuming she didn't bury the dog in her NYC apartment and she doesn't mention cremation/bringing Bonnie's cremains home, so I guess she went with the "mass grave" route. Is that weird to anyone else or am I weird for assuming everyone either has them cremated or buried them in their backyard?

her biggest problem was deciding to get the dog in the first place without being willing to care for a dog properly. she only got it as an instagram trophy while she drank wine in front of a zoom meeting like every other overpaid journo fuckhead I had a cat growing up that was a wonderful cat until we got another cat, then she started defiantly pissing all over the place. My mom decided to have her put down and I never forgave her for that, now she's loving dead lmao

My Spitz's original owner sent him to the vet to be put down at 10 months because he was an "escape artist". The vet asked that they surrender him instead and through connections he joined my family and now he lives with me. He was very skittish at first towards people and sudden movements or noises but never snapped and got along great with our other smaller dog. With time his attitude became very friendly towards everyone including strangers but to this day he hesitates if you offer food by hand so I usually place it on the floor for him. I heard his original owners attempted the same thing with another young dog later on. I always wonder what exactly they did to him.

My poor dog had some type of aneurysm in October and had to be put to sleep. Both myself and my daughter were allowed to come in and be with her when they put her to sleep. I understand that every vet may have had different Covid protocols but I get the feeling that if you are euthanizing your pet, most would have given you the option of being there for their last moments. gently caress this poo poo.

COVID protocols is a loving horseshit excuse, you just show them your loving vaccination papers OR you reschedule for a vet that will make the exception. She’s in NYC, there are literally thousands of veterinarians
