If you have a dog, you are aware of how affectionate they are. Dogs make us smile, chuckle, and basically laugh out loud.

Whether it's the dog in our own backyard, an amusing photograph we see on social media, or a funny video, they never fail to leave us grinning from ear to ear. In fact, all dogs have a sense of humor.

You can share with your dog the details of a bad date or a challenging workday and they'd listen. We are confident that anything we tell our pets will remain a secret forever.

Dogs are forgiving and sympathetic creatures who never harbor resentments. A dog is constantly present whenever you're having a moment, no matter what they are doing.

Your dog is a better person than most humans if you observe him throughout the day. So we can't really blame the OP in today's story for keeping her dog despite the odds not being in her favor.

The OP's mom has always hated taking care of things, even her own children. The OP has always wanted a puppy, but her mom always gets her a cat or something else.

The OP suffers from bipolar disorder, so when she moved out, she got a dog. Circumstances led her to move in with her mom again, and she made it clear that she wouldn’t help the OP pay for anything having to do with the dog.

Now she has a trip coming up and doesn't know the fate of her dog since they don't take care of it while she's gone.

The Title...

She always found a way to get rid of it though

Long story short I ended up having to move out

My brother doesn’t have a job and doesn’t really have much to do

Many dog owners know when things like this happen

I have an important upcoming trip overseas

The OP understands that neither of them asked for a dog

And the comments roll in...

You wrote that you got a dog

It sounds like money is an issue

Get up earlier to walk your dog

Why leave your dog with people that can't take care of them?

You are an adult in the eyes of society and the law

This:

This Redditor would have left or rehomed him

It is not really their obligation to take care of your dog

This Redditor is listing out the choices the OP has

She was able to force you to move in with her?

You are trying to force your responsibility on someone else

This Redditor is patiently scrutinizing every sentence

This Redditor would not allow one in her house either

A happy and healthy existence is built on the foundation of good feelings, increased activity, affection, and security. Your heart and soul will benefit from your relationship with your dog.

So we totally understand why the OP doesn't want to let go of her dog but then, the circumstances are not in her favor. Let us know what you think about this story by leaving your replies in the comments below.
