Husband Sells Beloved Family Dog Of Six Years Without Consent, Wife Seeks Advice On Supporting Soon-To-Be Heartbroken Children
A 28-year-old wife just found out her husband sold their beloved family dog of six years, and she is not dealing with it quietly. The dog was part of the daily routine, the “good morning” greeter, the constant in a house full of noise.
Here is what makes it messy: the sale happened without permission, without a conversation, and without any warning. Now she is stuck juggling her anger, the kids who are about to be crushed, and the very real question of where the dog even went and whether she can get him back.
The family dinner did not end well, because the dog was the one thing everyone loved.
The wife can always try to find the dog and attempt to get it back.
Well, I know what I would do: I would try to find the dog and explain what your husband has done, and then pack his bags or sell something that he really likes to make ends meet.
The fact of the matter is that the husband did it without permission. There's an underlying issue that requires therapy.
Discovering that a beloved family pet was sold without consultation can be emotionally challenging. Initiate a calm and honest conversation with your husband to understand the reasons behind his decision.
Express your feelings and work together to find a solution that considers the well-being of both your family and the dog. Seeking the guidance of a family therapist may also help facilitate communication and resolve underlying issues.
Most people want to kick the husband out for selling the dog.
You need to find out where the dog went, contact the people to arrange to get the dog back, and make arrangements for your husband to live in another home.
Other dog lovers feel that dogs are more important than husbands.
If I were you, I’d put the son of a b*tch out the door and go find a new husband.
My dogs are everything to me, and Lord help anyone who did something to hurt one of them.
Selling the dog isn't the solution.
Selling the family dog would not resolve the financial problem unless you expect your dog to get a job. It sounds like there are other issues that need to be dealt with in your family that have nothing to do with the family pet.
A domestic dispute lawyer could help.
You need to talk to a lawyer. Many will give an initial consultation for no fee.
Make sure it’s one that practices in the domestic disputes arena.
Immediately, while you wait for your legal appointment, find out (if you can) who he sold your dog to and for what price. If you can find the finances, contact them without his knowledge, explain the circumstances, and offer to buy it back for a higher price.
If the purchaser is willing to do that, find a place to board or foster the dog until you decide what you want to do about your situation with this man.
If the buyer is not willing to return the dog for a higher price, pursue legal procedures according to the lawyer’s advice. I’m sorry this happened to you and your dog.
Start a fundraiser if you have to. ❤️🐕
This is similar to the married couple where the wife bonded with the shelter dog, but the husband wanted to send it back.
One person points out that the story is fake.
The author is a troll, I fear - has a husband who sells the dog and a boyfriend who sells the laptop. Look at the history and the profile pic.
Block and mute.
"Get rid of the husband," most users say.
The dog is gone; unless you know who bought him and have the money to give him back, and they will, there isn't much you can do. Now for the husband.
It doesn't seem to me he could make enough money selling a dog to help make ends meet. He didn't consult you, and he didn't consider his children in this equation.
I'd say give him an ultimatum: get the dog back or we will be getting rid of you.
One less mouth to feed could sure help make ends meet.
The wife might need to pay extra to buy it back.
Quickly try to buy it back; explain how important it is. The person may require extra money for their inconvenience.
Put the dog in the house, put the husband in the doghouse.
One angry user points out that the husband doesn't deserve the family.
Any man that would do that does not deserve to have a family. I'd get rid of the husband and do my best to get my dog back. What the hell is going on in our country? I'm ashamed to be a human being because we are savages. Dogs are our best friends, and somebody does that? It breaks my heart.
While the wife is trying to figure out where the dog went, the husband is acting like the sale was no big deal.
Then the wife realizes the kids are next, because six years of bonding does not disappear just because someone sold the dog.
At that point, the “pack his bags” talk starts sounding less like a tantrum and more like a survival plan to protect the kids.
Finally, the wife has to decide whether she is going to track down the buyer and buy the dog back, or let this wreck the family for good.
Although we don't know the authenticity of the story, things like this, unfortunately, happen. One partner sells or gives away the dog without the knowledge and consent of the other.
The reality is that their financial problems won't disappear after selling the dog. It's only a band-aid solution.
What they need is a permanent solution that addresses their financial challenges without sacrificing the well-being of their beloved pet.
He might be happier in a different home, but the dog belongs with the family who loved him first.
