Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year old dog that has been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML

Today, I went to move my dog that had been napping in the middle of my bed for the last few hours, only to discover that he wasn't napping. He died. FML

Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML

Today, I finally decided to get a dog. I have always been wanting to get one ever since I was a child. I bought a $1,400 Golden Retriever. I went out for lunch a few hours later with a friend, so I left my dog in the backyard. I came back home to a broken fence and no dog. FML

Today, I saw a YouTube video of the cutest, sweetest old dog. When I checked the channel for more videos of this dog, I discovered that he died last month. Day ruined. FML

Today, my 12 year-old dog died. My boyfriend's attempts to comfort me involved him muttering, "At least she knows how to play dead now." FML

Poor good boy

Today, my dog died. I spent ages digging him a grave and buried him in the garden so that my dad wouldn't have to deal with the stress when he got home from work. When my dad got home he told me that he had wanted the dog to be cremated. I have just had to dig up my dog's body. FML

Today, my dog died. My parents told me to bury it out back. In the process, I managed to dig up my cat. FML

Thats a shame, but you should be proud of yourself for doing something like that in the first place. It shows u care for it's life, even in it's last hours.

Probably small consolation, but the poor dog probably died very happy to think that he had found a new owner who loved him. Upsetting for you, but the best ending he could have wished for. When you are ready, have another go. Definitely not an FML. You should feel your life is blessed.

aww, but at least you were nice enough to adopt an older dog. Older animals have the hardest time when their owners can't keep them, because no one wants them.

You should be happy knowing that he died having a home and someone who cared for him.

This shouldn't be a FML. Be happy that you were able to give him a nice place to die instead of rotting away in a pound. I adopted an 8 year old German Shepherd that was also in the pound for several months. Even though it's sad and it sucks when they die so soon, at least they were happier than being stuck in a cage lying in their own waste.

I was going to say this as well, maybe he was on his way out and was waiting just for someone like you to come along and "save him" from dying in a shelter. Animals are much more perceptive of such situations then we give them credit for.
