Woman Takes Her Ex's Dog Because He Was Bad Owner, Seeks Advice As He Wants To "Borrow" Dog For Few Hours

If you own a dog, it's likely that your top priority is keeping your pet content and healthy. Nevertheless, there are more factors to take into account while thinking about the welfare of your pet.

One of such factor is the consequences of not walking your dog and how it might affect their mental health. There are some pet owners who believe that if a dog has a yard, there's no need to walk it because it can run around in the fresh air and relieve itself whenever it pleases.

But it's not supposed to be so. Dogs must be taken on walks outside in order to make their markings, smell the marks of others, learn new things, explore new areas, and interact with other dogs. 

OP's ex was a lazy person, and he never took his dog, Bruno, on walks. If he did, the OP guesses that it would be twice a year. They had a yard, and he felt that was enough for the dog.

The OP worked a nice 8–4 job and lived five minutes from home, so Bruno got into a routine. When they broke up, the OP said it was in the best interest of the dog to stay with her.

She told him that he could come to see the dog whenever he wanted and take him over the weekend, but he never did. The OP is now engaged to someone, and Bruno loves the OP's fiance more than he loves her.

He is just really good with dogs, is so attentive, and is just amazing. The OP now wants his ex to only have a supervised visit with the dog, but he's proving stubborn.
