There’s some very unpleasant and stupid people on this thread.
No I have nothing to do with this dog.
I have raised the issue of money as peephole were posting that she only wanted it back to make more money, crazy speculations about it all being about money, I was merely pointing out that she had lost money and it was the op would had gained.
Op had confirmed that she has offered more money for the dog back, this is how desperate she is to have her dog back.
People were slagging the ex owner off for not doing all the proper checks, I was merely highlighting that perhaps the saintly op hadn’t done all her proper checks.
Very little info has been posted, nobody has any real idea as to the ex owners situation, how good or bad she was as a dog owner. The op herself has stressed that she was a nice lady and has not suggested any poor treatment.
Perhaps her family have stepped in once they found out what she had done and perhaps yes they have offered to help. Perhaps the mum hadn’t wanted to burden her children, perhaps they have said they would all chip in for doggie daycare. They could be 100 different scenarios but the op says the previous owner was trying to do her best for the dog and so obviously a good owner, putting her dog first.
I have merely pointed out that people can make mistakes, this owner very quickly realised hers and the op had only had the dog for less than 2 days. What was there to loose for op to hand the dog back and give this poor lady a second chance, that would have been the kind thing to do.
I remain shocked at all the immediate callous piling on, slagging off the previous owner to the hilt, saying it was all about money, what a terrible person she was, etc etc when no-one knows anything about her.
All we know is one side from the op, there are two sides to everything and people should just be kinder and more tolerant. The attitude on her has been very grabby, he’s mine now, I have myself a bargain and I’m keeping it, sod the consequences for anyone else.
The op says she offered £300 as this is all she could afford, dogs are expensive to look after and so perhaps the op should have stuck with the one dog she has already and that she actually can’t afford a second dog.
And why go ringing up about dogs that are priced out of your range?
Maybe the owner took such a discount as she liked op and wanted the best for her dog, maybe the ex owner is a nice person unlike lots of the people on this thread. There’s definitely a lot of anger and unpleasantness out there.
