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 went to a pet store to adopt a dog. I got a medium sized lab, a dog crate, and a few toys, then put his crate in the back of my truck and the dog in his crate. On the way home I realized I forgot dog bowls and some dog food. I went back, and when I got back out to my truck, my dog was gone. My stereo too. FML

Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML

Today, my parents finally fulfilled my childhood dream and got a puppy, after years of me nagging at them. The only downside is that I no longer live at home and he's not mine. FML

Today, I took my dog to the park. While chatting with another dog owner, my dog managed to steal their sandwich and ran off with it. I had to chase my sandwich-thieving dog through the entire park. FML

Today, I went to the local pet store to purchase a large dog bed so my dog wouldn't sleep in mine. After I got home and set up her bed, I realized I forgot to buy dog treats. When I came home again, her new bed was torn to shreds, and she was still sleeping on my bed. FML

Why didn't you tie it up? If it was a new pet, you don't know how it's going to react. YDI for not making sure it was secure!

Serves you right for buying a dog when millions are dying in shelters. If that weren't bad enough, only a total moron would leave any dog outside along--especially a new dog whose personality you don't know. Congratulations--you supported a cruel industry and made it possible for a dog to either starve to death, get hit by a car or, best case, end up in a tiny shelter crate.

Why would you pay $1400 for a Golden Retriever? I didn't think they were especially expensive, unless one of its parents was a prize-winning showdog or something... I think you got gypped.

A multitude of failures here. 1) Why did you buy a 1400 dollar dog? 2) Why did you leave it untied in your garden?

Golden retrievers are best known for their abilities to escape~ I should know. Ours loves to sneak out of the yard, but since she's tied up she can't go far. You sort of deserve it. If you /just/ got that dog you always wanted, why not stay home and play with it or something? If I just got a dog, I'd want to stay with it ... Plus, why not at least put a collar on it and tie it up to a tree for a bit with some food/water in reach? And $1400 for a gold retriever? Geez... Must be some expensive purebred ... ...

This is disgusting, as are the comments defending you. You and those people obviously know nothing at all about caring for an animal. You don't deserve a dog for too many reasons to mention. I hope that dog finds someone who knows how to take care of it, poor thing.
