Girlfriend Discovers Her Boyfriend Secretly Hurting Her Dog, Contemplates If Choosing Her Pet Was The Right Decision
A 28-year-old woman refused to ignore the signs in her own living room, and it finally clicked when she caught her boyfriend hurting her dog when she wasn’t around. It wasn’t a one-time “oops” moment, it was a secret pattern, the kind you only notice when you’re paying attention to what your pet is trying to tell you with their fear.
Here’s what made it complicated: she loved her boyfriend, she was still trying to make sense of his behavior, and she kept wondering if choosing her dog over him would make her the “bad” one in the story. But the truth was sitting right there, her dog only had her to protect him, and that protection was being undermined in private.
Now she’s stuck with the same brutal question everyone would ask once they see the evidence, was she right to pick her pet, or did she wait too long?
It doesn't come as a surprise that people agreed with the woman's decision.
Yes, it’s right. People who hurt pets often move on to hurting people.
Your dog has only you to protect him/her. You made the right decision.
Get that man out of your life ASAP.
When it comes to loyalty, dogs are faultless.
You chose wisely. Your dog will be loyal to you for their entire life, through anything and everything.
The guy, I would bet, would not do the same. Also, what type of person abuses a dog?
That should be the only red flag that you need.
It won't be long before the guy turns his aggression toward his partner.
Yes. If he secretly hurts your dog, sooner or later he is probably going to give you the same treatment.
You're not just choosing your dog over your boyfriend; you're choosing to put your own safety first. If you haven't already done so, dump him immediately.
Things could get worse if she's still with her boyfriend.
If he is hurting and hitting your dog, then he will eventually hit you. Choose your dog; get rid of him.
There are so many others who love dogs, and that is what you need. Kick your partner aside and keep the loving and trusting dog.
He is and will be your best friend. Your dog looks to you to take care of him and protect him from an abusive environment.
If you don’t, then you may be your partner’s punching bag.
Getting out of the relationship is a wise decision.
Please explain how your “partner” hurting your dog when you’re not looking indicates you’re choosing your dog over your partner.
So you understand, there’s absolutely no connection. What it does show is that your “partner” is a gaslighting, narcissistic psychopath, and I don’t mean to be offensive, but you’re a fool if you think allowing this or getting rid of your dog will improve this person’s behavior towards you.
It will do the opposite because it’s a control move, and you allowing and complying means ground has been gained by the offensive.
A word to the wise: get out of this relationship NOW, with your dog, before it ends up dead, and don’t look back. And next time, don’t move in or allow anyone to move in without it clearly being established that your dog is permanently part of the package and will be treated kindly at all times—or it’s a no-go. ❤️🐕
They all echo the same sentiment: Dump the guy because he'll eventually hurt the dog owner.
Take your precious dog and never look back.
When the scum begs to be with you again, don't even let him finish a sentence.
People who are cruel to animals will always, at some point, switch to human beings.
Many hugs to you and your baby dog.
This is similar to the girlfriend forced to choose between her sometimes aggressive dog and her boyfriend.
A guy hurting a dog is a big red flag. She needs to run.
Get rid of that piece of sh*t boyfriend!!! Anyone who would hurt an innocent, defenseless animal would hurt you too!
It's a very bad sign. Choose the dog. Boyfriends come and go… a dog's love is forever.
Take care of your dog. Love him, protect him.
Your boyfriend will hurt your dog, if not worse, and people who hurt dogs will hurt people (if he hasn’t already). You don’t need this guy.
He’s trouble. But your dog needs you and will forever love and protect you.
It is absolutely right that you should choose your dog over him. Get rid of the partner; keep the dog.
Other people would do the same thing as the pet owner.
I would absolutely choose my dogs over anyone who would dare to hurt them. Yes, anyone!
Dogs are innocent, loving creatures who see you as their whole world. Would you want to disappoint your dog by either allowing that person to stay or by not putting a stop to the abuse?
Your dog depends on you for safety, shelter, a place to feel secure, food to eat, and love. Most of all, love.
They might only be a part of your world, but you are their whole world. Imagine switching places with your pup. What would you want done?
Best of luck, and God bless and keep you and your pupper. 💖🐶
Him hurting the dog is an indicator of what he's capable of doing in the future.
Leave. He has already attacked you through your dog.
What he does to dogs, he will continue to do to you. He does not love himself and thus must project such a lack upon others.
You are not choosing your dog over him. You are choosing yourself and your dog over him. Leave.
The moment she realized he was hurting her dog in secret, all those “maybe it’s nothing” excuses started collapsing fast.
That’s when the loyalty contrast hit hard, her dog stayed devoted, while her boyfriend hid the worst parts of himself.
If he can get away with hurting a helpless animal, people watching this situation can’t stop thinking about what happens when he turns that same aggression toward her.
By the time she’s weighing whether to dump him, the dog’s fear and the boyfriend’s control game are already telling the same story.
When she chose her dog, she was not just doing it for her pet. She was doing herself a favor by preventing a potentially abusive partner from destroying both her and her dog's lives.
It is indeed a wise decision to choose her dog because allowing this to continue will only make her dog more aggressive.
He might be wondering if he really is the problem, but her dog already knows the answer.
