I think it's pretty shitty how you have to pay THEM to KILL your animals.... It's b/s IMO.

Your father is an asshole! Poor doggie! :(

Rofl @ vets not putting down a healthy dog - what do you think happens to the 1000's of dogs shelters can't afford to pay for every day?

This isn't really the time for stories, I suppose, but I felt the need to share anyway. When I was a little girl, I had a turtle. He died, and my parents told me he ran away. My TURTLE RAN AWAY. And, being two, I believed them. As for your dog, I don't know any vet who would put down an animal without good reason. Have you tried calling the vet's office and seeing if they can look up for you what reason was used to have him put down? If he had some kind of painful terminal illness, your dad probably thought he was doing the right thing.

@102, putting down dogs at a shelter is a different situation than an owned dog at an animal hospital. But, you're still right that vets can put down healthy dogs if you have enough complaints. You guys can look it up.

Omg! I would never speak to my dad again after that!

OmG that is so mean of him

first of all, why were you rummaging through your trash cans? and second of all, your father was probably just trying to keep you from having to know the horrible truth, he was just protecting you. be appreciative. ydi.

That Bastard! im so sorry for you FYL.

What was the reason for putting the dog down? If it was just that he didn't want it anymore, then screw him he is an asshole. If it was because the bog was hurt or dying, then I can see why he would do that.
