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!

dude, you guys, stop being assholes. OP: aw, that's so sad! I hope you got him microchipped. Check all the nearby shelters.

I think you should have saved a retriever rather than pay for the breed. :

Agreed always adopt buying from breeders is expensive and there are so many homeless pets as it is! I've gotten my best pets from shelters.

Omg, sorry to bust your bubble but I think your dog was most probably stolen! :( You never leave a dog that expensive or any breed outside unattended.. you should have let him inside...

$1400 for a golden? I got my purebred golden for a $40 donation, from the humane society.

Purebred Golden Retriever that doesn't yet know you; feel at home or even become accustomed to your scent; and you leave him outside before he/she has even spent one night with you. Good luck getting him to return home. I hope that beautiful dog finds someone who knows how to look after it . . . YDI OP.

The dog probably didn't want to be alone... and it's never a good idea to leave a dog in a home that it hasn't even gotten used to yet. Bad decision making = YDI. Hope you find him though.. but now you'll probably have to invest even more money for posters and such.
