Guy Contemplates Whether He Should Report His Girlfriend to the Cops After Her Dog Bit Another Dog in Public
One dog park visit turned into a mess when a woman brought a dog with a biting history into public and ended up leaving after it bit another dog. Now her boyfriend is stuck hearing the fallout, and he is not sure whether staying quiet makes him complicit.
The situation gets messier because the dog was reportedly smaller, the owner ran off instead of dealing with it, and the boyfriend is now weighing whether to report the incident to the authorities. Reddit had plenty to say once he asked for opinions.
His next move could decide whether this stays a private relationship problem or becomes a legal one.
The lady clearly hasn't learned her lesson.
Of course she would; she doesn't want the criminal charges, after all.
The guy is now seeking advice from the community.
Redditors were quick to weigh in on what should happen next.
The first step is to report it to animal control authorities.
This user thinks that the girlfriend should stop owning dogs if she's this irresponsible.
The irresponsibility of the dog owner is unbelievable.
This Redditor has witnessed something similar.
These irresponsible owners need to understand that some dogs are the only companions for certain people.
Redditors agree that reporting the girlfriend is the right decision.
One commenter did not think this should be brushed off.
He calls it effort; this Redditor disagrees.
Redditors agree that she deserves punishment under the law.
Most people are wondering why.
This Redditor thinks that even the original poster should be liable for what happened.
For this user, being this irresponsible is a deal breaker.
Another commenter thought the whole thing said plenty about the owner.
This is also what happened in the case where everyone blamed the lady after her BF’s untrained dog seriously bit her.
This Redditor's definition of an irresponsible pet owner.
Dogs are family too. In other words, the girlfriend should be held responsible for her dog that harmed a family member.
To be on the safe side, some owners suggest avoiding the dog park.
Indeed. There is no need to wait for things to worsen.
Trying hard to improve the dog's temperament doesn't equate to being a responsible dog owner.
What was the girlfriend thinking?
The girlfriend probably lied to the daycare staff.
For a number of Redditors, euthanizing the dog is the best decision.
She also needs to take responsibility for the bills of the dog that was attacked.
This Redditor agrees with the previous comments.
The dog poses a danger to both humans and other dogs.
An alternative solution is to rehome the dog. But who wants a dog that bites?
The final takeaway was pretty blunt, and nobody seemed eager to give her the benefit of the doubt.
It's always best to consult the experts regarding whether it's safe to take dogs with a biting history to the park. It's not enough that they are trained at home, as the dog's instincts can easily kick in.
What do you think about this stressful and controversial situation? Let us know in the comments.
