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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, I paid $5000 for a new fence in my backyard for my dogs. My dog escaped three hours after the contractor finished the fence. FML
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had 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 a pet store to adopt a dog. I got a medium sized lab, a dog crate, and a few toys, then put his crate in the back of my truck and the dog in his crate. On the way home I realized I forgot dog bowls and some dog food. I went back, and when I got back out to my truck, my dog was gone. My stereo too. FML
Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML
Today, my parents finally fulfilled my childhood dream and got a puppy, after years of me nagging at them. The only downside is that I no longer live at home and he's not mine. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park. While chatting with another dog owner, my dog managed to steal their sandwich and ran off with it. I had to chase my sandwich-thieving dog through the entire park. FML
Today, I went to the local pet store to purchase a large dog bed so my dog wouldn't sleep in mine. After I got home and set up her bed, I realized I forgot to buy dog treats. When I came home again, her new bed was torn to shreds, and she was still sleeping on my bed. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, I finally found the girl of my dreams, she's smart, loyal, energetic and adorable. There's one problem. She's a Golden Retreiver. FML

Why didn't you tie it up? If it was a new pet, you don't know how it's going to react. YDI for not making sure it was secure!

if the OP wanted to spend 1400 dollars on a dog i'd think that's his (or her) problem. i'm sure we've all spent money on unnecessary luxuries. how do you know he didn't save up for a year to buy this dog? so he didn't go save some dog's life at a shelter. boo freaking hoo. i didn't realize that was an obligation when buying a pet. extending that reasoning, those of you who are having your own kids instead of adopting are all terrible people too, because you could be helping kids who need it. but yes, you should've had it microchipped if you're going to spend that much money. that's just protecting your investment.

you spent WAY too much. it's funny how people buy shit before they know what its worth. Golden retrievers sell for 600 or less, otherwise it's a rip off.

Go to a shelter or rescue next time. And you can't just decide one day to get a dog and that same day go buy one. You have to buy supplies, figure out what size and temperament would be best for your lifestyle, and then look for one. And if you just got a brand new dog, aren't you going to stay at home and have fun with it?! Get a rock or something first before you move on to something that requires a lot of responsibility like a dog. Mutts are the best. ? NEVER buy from pet stores; if you don't know why, Google "puppy mills".

You bought a brand new puppy, not only did you put it right in the backyard, but you left it alone? You deserve it. I hope it found itself a nice new home, one where it will be safe and well cared for.

Well that sucks, but if you just got a dog, then why did you leave for several hours to hang out with a friend? I would've been too excited to have a dog to leave the house! Btw, yes it's overkill, but $1400 is WAY too much to spend on a dog. Also for all the stupid peoples' "Expensive Dog, Must've Been Stolen" scenario, who would steal an expensive DOG and where would they sell him?

golden retrievers are like... THE dumbest dog on the planet. just go to the pound and get a mutt, less health problems and they are usually already house broken and suck. plus you deserved that for paying that much for a dog.
