Most lost dogs can go back home on their own. But being picked up by a rescuer is also a possibility.

According to the stats released by Lost Pet Research & Recovery, 93% of missing dogs are rescued or found alive, while 20% go back home without any help.

The probability of finding a lost dog can sometimes feel like playing the lottery, but there are things you can do to improve your odds. Start by sharing the news on social media, in your neighborhood, and through local lost pet forums.

You may also want to check out shelters and create an eye-catching “Lost Dog” poster with a picture of your pup. Searching the immediate area might help too.

Be sure to bring treats, as most lost dogs will be scared and in hiding. Perseverance and patience are key when it comes to finding your four-legged friend, so don’t give up hope!

And if someone you know lost their dog, the least you can do is post a picture of it on social media. Sadly, not everyone is willing to do this.

In particular, a Redditor named Revolutionary_Box790. She tells the “Am I The A**hole?” (AITA) that she doesn't like her best friend's sister-in-law.

That's why when this person lost her dog, the original poster (OP) didn't want to share the deets on her social media account.

What do Redditors say about this? Well, if you're a dog lover, you already know what their reactions are.

This post made dog lovers seething.

Her attitude toward a simple task says a lot about her character.

A Redditor creates a mad lib using the OP's story.

Thanks to the Redditors who criticized the OP, she changed her mind (but was still reluctant about doing it).

Users are even bashing her attitude.

A big YTA is what she gets for that eye roll.

It's so easy to post the details on the lost dog on social media.

It's not about the OP's relationship with her best friend's SIL. It's all about the dog.

Exactly! Posting isn't a hard thing to do.

She's petty (3x) indeed!

This person created unnecessary drama.

The OP only needs to be concerned about the dog, not her best friend's SIL.

Users agree that she's not only the a-hole, but she's also lazy.

It won't take much to share the picture of the lost dog.

Posting only needs 2 seconds of her time.

All that matters here is the dog.

Helping the dog only takes a few seconds.

If this Redditor was in her shoes, they would share it.

The answer? A petty person.

Posting a photo is easy. But the OP chose drama.

Sharing would only take a short time. Posting about it to look for someone on her side only to find out she's being criticized took a longer time

The OP chose to be petty than to help someone in need. So it's no wonder why the community got mad and told her off.

But at least their criticisms gave her the push to share the lost dog on social media. And the moral lesson of the story?

It takes more effort when you choose to be petty.
