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, 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

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!

You don't leave a dog by itself when you just got it, you spend time with the dog. He was probably scared and alone. That's a lot of money for a dog you could've gotten at an animal shelter.

Probably an unpopular opinion but if the dog isn't allowed to live in the house, you shouldn't get a dog. Of course, I'm assuming OP doesn't let dogs in the house and makes them live outside.

No matter if it's a new dog or not, you should keep it inside if you're going out. If you don't keep it inside, at least tie it up o f something

You just left it in the backyard? What the hell? I'm sorry but I don't think you should be a pet owner. And why didn't you adopt instead of spending that kind offl money? I'm horrified by your actions. Poor dog.
