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 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!

#134, are you serious? Tons of dogs are stolen every single day and sold by people who claim to be "moving" or using any other reason to get some money for them. This dog could've been from a breeder or a pet store, but obviously if the OP was willing to pay that much for it, so are other people. The dog very well could have been stolen, but hopefully it will end up with a family with some intelligence and compassion, which it obviously wasn't getting before.

Why so expensive? I see purebred retrievers for like a third of that price, at most.

Your fault for paying for a stupidly expensive dog, when you could have gotten one from the pound. Puppy mills suck (& they overcharge)!

Aaaaand that's why you get dogs from the pound, rather than puppy mill.

I'm assuming the dog was stolen, since puppy's generally aren't strong enough to break fences.

Let me get this straight. You have wanted a dog your entire life and spent $1400 to get just the kind you wanted....and then you immediately left it in the back yard and went to flipping lunch?! You don't leave your pet in the back yard. Trained or untrained. New or old. It's not safe. It could be stolen, hurt, killed, ANYTHING. You supervise it the same way you'd supervise a child. I have always adopted my dogs, but get a purebred if you want. Just actually take care of it. Because, if you aren't even going to bother to spend one full day with it before you just leave it in the back yard, you shouldn't own a pet. End of story.
