Today, I found a lost dog and called the owner. When he arrived, I thought it would be cute to put the dog down so he would run back into his owner's arms, like in movies. As soon as I put the dog down, it ran away again. FML

That dog is an asshole, but I bet the owner hates their life more. I can see it now: "today my dog ran away...twice. FML."

"I thought it would be cute..." Yeah, that's a YDI for sure.

Are you for real?? Don't you know they have trainers for the dogs in the movies? They train them & bribe them with treats to get them to do what they want. This is definitely a YDI.

I'll admit that when I initially read it, I immediately thought of the "killing the dog" meaning of "put down". Context obviously disambiguated it though.

Never try anything you see in movies, unless it's ****.

"Put the dog down" is a horrible choice of words.

next time just hand the owner their dog. I'm sorry your life isn't like some sappy dog movie.

Hahaha. The dog should've been running away from the owner! Lol!

Maybe there's a reason it ran away from it's owner...either it wasn't trained/with the owner for very long to have learned to obey, or the owner was abusing it...either way FYL OP...should have taken it to the pound & let them call the owner..they'd be more inclined to tell if the owner was good or bad to the dog
