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!

Everyone bitching about someone buying a purebred dog & paying for it needs to STFU. I paid $1500 for my purebred dog, & he is worth every penny. He came from a wonderful, responsible breeder who is doing great things for the breed as well as dogs in general. He is amazingly friendly & good with all people & my other pets. There ARE reasons to buy purebred dogs, just as there are reasons to adopt from shelters. And BTW? If you buy a purebred dog and AREN'T paying over $1,000 for it? You're probably buying from a shitty "backyard breeder" and in that case SHOULD be slapped. It takes time & money to raise good, healthy dogs which = a high price tag. That being said, my dog is 3 years old & I would never leave his ass sitting in my fenced yard. That's just asking for it. Way to show you care about your brand new puppy, throwing it in the yard & going to lunch.

If you spent that much on a dog, you could have paid a bit more for a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip. I'm glad other users have already harangued you for supporting puppy mills instead of our overstuffed shelters.

Oh, I hope you find it! I've had my dog get out before and, thankfully, she came running back to me. I'm sure you'll find it or that it'll come back.

Get a new dog and you go out to lunch with a friend? Well, I hope someone did not steal your dog as bait for dog fighting. Sadly, this happens too often. I hope you are taking proper precautions in finding your expensive dog.
