Woman Asks If She Is Wrong For Refusing To Give Her Co-Worker Her Dog Back 2026

Dogs require a loving home.

I know this sounds self-explanatory but things are never as they seem. I know a lot of people absolutely adore dogs and it is sad to hear these sorts of things but we have to realize that a lot of dogs are hurt by their owners. I never understood why people do this though. I mean if you think you can’t take care of a dog properly and are not able to give them the love they need, then why get one in the first place?

Adopting a dog sounds like an easy thing to do but it is a bit more complicated than it may seem. So when this woman was asked by her co-worker to take care of her dog, she was happy to oblige. But that was before she realized that the dog was malnourished. She obviously tried her best to get the puppy back to full health and it is honestly lovely to see. However, it all turned sour when the co-worker demanded the pup back. As you can probably imagine, she wasn’t going to let that happen

The word owner is rightly in quotation marks in my opinion.

This woman was asked to take care of a doggo and she was happy to get another animal.

She did notice that the dog was a little unhealthy and wasn’t treated really well.

Things were going well for the doggo and the new family.

That was until the co-worker demanded that she get the back but the poster of this story refused outright.

I am honestly glad that the dog found a loving home because it seems like he wasn’t taken care of before. he was obviously malnourished which means the co-worker didn’t really care what happened to the dog. And while she says that her kids miss the dog, it is probably just embarrassment to see the dog thriving so much after she gave the pupper away. I hope the co-worker never gets another animal because they do not deserve it.

People were not on the co-worker’s side.

And I would have to 100% agree.

They had their chance and they ruined it.

They do not deserve the dog anymore.

And the pupper deserves to have a loving family.

People were happy that the doggo was out of that home.

The dog was clearly being neglected.

Commenters advised her to keep proof of the dog.

And it isn’t as if the co-worker has any proof.

She isn’t wrong at all in this scenario.

There would be no reason at all.

She does indeed need to receive a congratulations.

It was her choice to give the dog away.

The do is certainly lucky in this scenario.

And the pupper deserved it.

I am worried about the other doggo as well.

But it seems the other doggo is doing fine.

A dog is a living being and not a toy.

We can only hope that the doggo remains safe and sound.

Do you know what will make the day better? Red panda tax!

Who knew red pandas could be so adorable? Is it bad that I really want to get a red panda now? I only wish that it was legal but I would never force a wild animal into a small space no matter how adorable they are.
