Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year old dog that has been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML

Today, I went to move my dog that had been napping in the middle of my bed for the last few hours, only to discover that he wasn't napping. He died. FML

Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML

Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML

Today, I finally decided to get a dog. I have always been wanting to get one ever since I was a child. I bought a $1,400 Golden Retriever. I went out for lunch a few hours later with a friend, so I left my dog in the backyard. I came back home to a broken fence and no dog. FML

Today, I saw a YouTube video of the cutest, sweetest old dog. When I checked the channel for more videos of this dog, I discovered that he died last month. Day ruined. FML

Today, my 12 year-old dog died. My boyfriend's attempts to comfort me involved him muttering, "At least she knows how to play dead now." FML

Today, my dog died. I spent ages digging him a grave and buried him in the garden so that my dad wouldn't have to deal with the stress when he got home from work. When my dad got home he told me that he had wanted the dog to be cremated. I have just had to dig up my dog's body. FML

Today, my dog died. My parents told me to bury it out back. In the process, I managed to dig up my cat. FML

Thats a shame, but you should be proud of yourself for doing something like that in the first place. It shows u care for it's life, even in it's last hours.

Probably small consolation, but the poor dog probably died very happy to think that he had found a new owner who loved him. Upsetting for you, but the best ending he could have wished for. When you are ready, have another go. Definitely not an FML. You should feel your life is blessed.

aww this is sad but also a good thing. The idea was to give it a good home before it passed away and no doubt u made it very happy before it died, not having to pass away in cold kennels =)

You know, you could get a refund for that if you paid for it... If it dies within two weeks of purchase you actually get a refund... Saw it on "Don't get screwed"

He was most likely the happiest dog EVER before he died. He got a home and someone who loved him.

I think it's fake... unless you got it off the street, the kennel would have put it to sleep right away if it's that old, because no one is going to get a dog that could die any second. i got a dog once that was like 5 and they were about to put it down really soon. they even lied about the age. they said it was 3. so yeah, not so real.

That's not true. There are plenty of shelters that adopt out older dogs and many that specialize entirely in finding/providing good homes for the last days, months, and years that older dogs may have left. I've volunteered at a couple.
