Being forced to part ways with your pet is a complex situation to deal with. Sometimes life comes in the way, and it's no longer possible to keep your pet, and it's something no pet owner would ever want to deal with. 

Rehoming your dog and making sure that he will be cared for and loved by another family is always the right thing to do. You want to make sure that your pet is going to be in good hands and be loved the same way he has always been.

Second-doubting your decision last minute is quite normal since it's a heartbreaking and emotional moment that will make you reconsider a lot of things. But once you give your pet away, sometimes there's no going back and you will lose your pet forever.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/highbyfive made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole subReddit where she explained how she refused to give a family their dog back after driving 3 hours to buy him. The user got a lot of different and interesting reactions to her post.

Here’s the original post by Reddit user u/highbyfive:

The family of OP’s newly adopted dog planned to leave the country for 6 months and decided to give their dog away.

Soon after that, the owners’ son called OP to see if they could get their dog back.

OP decided to keep the dog and not return it.

OP modified the post to include an Edit with more context.

Here’s how the Reddit community reacted to u/highbyfive's post:

After only a few days, it would be better to give the dog back.

They should have thought their decision through before involving other people.

It wasn’t a last-minute decision for the owners.

Leo is better off with a more stable family.

It would be kind of OP to give the family their dog back but they don’t have to.

Loving dogs don't come out of abusive homes.

The family should have been more clear from the beginning.

The family made their decision and got paid for their dog.

OP should have given the family more time to think.

OP can never know if the family will do it again.

It's their dog after all, and they have the right to feel remorseful.

OP fairly paid for the dog, then refused to give it back.

OP should return the dog to their owners and get a different one.

The dog won't remember them after 6 months.

That's not a life for a dog.

Well, this was an interesting story. OP should have waited a little longer and given the family a bit more time to rethink their decision.

It's their dog after all, but OP paid for it and could not return it; it's just the right thing to do. If you enjoyed reading this, be sure to check out similar content on our platform.
