What do you do when you want your dog back?
Question by : What do you do when you want your dog back?
So today, a guy came at 6 am to collect my precious dog, Fielder. Here is the story, you don’t have to read if you don’t want.
It all started November 09. My dogs got into a horrible fight. Fielder bit off a small chunk of his ear off while in the fight. I wasn’t even there when it happened. My mom said that my little sister Elaina (1 year old) started screaming. It wasn’t funny screaming, it was blood curdling scream. If my mom wasn’t there, my little sister might have gotten severely hurt. Or worse, she could have gotten murdered. That night, I went over to my best friend’s home for a slumber party. The next morning, my mother picked me up from her house. She told me in the car that we needed to get rid of Fielder. He severely hurt Jackson. (He’s doing fine now though.) I started balling my eyes out. He was the best animal I knew. My mother told me that a man’s companion ( a dog.) died of lime disease. He decided that he would take the dog off of our hands. Naturally, my mom said yes because she didn’t want him to be put to sleep.
So that’s the story. I know its stupid, but what’s your guys’ story? I think that it will make me feel better instead of me crying all day. Thanks so much!
Bye!

I hope your dog doesn’t repeat his behavior in his new home. Give it some time kiddo! I promise it will get a little easier. Sorry! Some choices as pet owners are really tough to make.

sorry about your story
but all dogs need training, exercise, socialization, grooming and vet care
need to live in house with family
with 24/7 supervision in fenced yard
needs 24/7 supervision around kids
kids need training how to treat and act around dogs
you weren’t concerned about sister
you weren’t concerned about dog
it has been 2 years, you don’t
you learn how to own and care for the dog you have left

I am sorry, but there is honestly nothing you can do. I am not saying this to be mean, I am saying this honestly. If a dog is going to behave in a dangerous way toward a person, child, or other animal, they need to be taken care of (separated, put down, sent to the pound). I think your mom did the right thing.
And for those of you idiots who say it is two years ago, it wasn’t. I’ll bet you ANYTHING that it was November 9th. As in Wednesday.

It’s so sad. I’ve lost a few pets so I can identify with you. It gets better with time.

Why are you dwelling on something that happened 2 years ago. And you said it yourself, your little sister could have been caught in the middle and gotten hurt badly ot maimed severely.

I had a basset hound. I was home schooled so my dogs were my buddies. I walked my basset every day and we did a paper route weekly. We moved. Mom started doing drugs. I woke up and my basset was gone. She didn’t tell me she gave him away (probably traded for drugs actually) til a week later. My little brother saw people take him so I thought he was stolen. Worried like hell. When I found out the truth I begged my mom to get him back. The pain was awful. I cried more than anything. I cried to her but she was screwed up. She didn’t care about anything anymore. She kicked me out. That was 5 years ago. Moses is still alive, living with the same people and happy from what I hear. It still hurts. His family lives by my doctor. I’ve walked by his house and he barks at me. Barks like I’m a stranger. He has no clue that he used to be mine.
I hope this helps. I’ve never told anyone about this. God bless.

It all STARTED in 1999. And it has obviously continued? Your mother felt the dog was not sound in the head and was a threat to humans and/or other animals?
I am really sorry, but the dog needed to go. The person who took your dog? I do hope he is aware Fielder has serious issues.
Time to buck it up, realize your mother did what she thought was best and take it like a man.

Dogs with dog aggression will be happier being the only dog.
Sounds like he could have had a high prey drive meaning anything that moves he wants. What it comes down to is being safe. You can’t keep the dog safe, and the people around it safe.
It can be dangerous to separate a dog fight. They get into almost like a black out and will turn on you.
