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!

YDI. God, didn't you know you can't leave the dog alone right away? They're not toys.

you should know how to take care of a dog before you buy one.. and let me get this right... instead of going to search and look for it, which I would be doing until I found it... you decide going on your computer to submitt it as a fml is a much better idea. idiot.

#33, because clearly from the post, the TC didn't take any time whatsoever to look for the dog. TC came home, saw the dog was missing, and jumped right on his computer. Wait... you mean... it doesn't say that? You have no way of knowing he did that? For all you know he spent hours looking for the dog before giving up for the day and sitting down on his computer? But... that would make you... how do you say... ah, yes... an idiot. Hell, notice the time he posted it: 11:40 PM. And it's been missing since lunch. I'll let you do the math on that.

I don't think buying a $1,400 purebred is such a good idea for a first dog. Go and find a mutt. They are just as good as a purebred and have more personality, IMO. And you should also know how to care for a dog first. They require a lot of work to take care of, which is probably the reason your parents didn't want to get one.

OMG. If you get a dog you should know what to do with it. Jesus christ. Dogs do things like that.

YDI, you don't leave a dog outside unattended for any reason.

@29, purebreds don't even cost that much. OP probably went down to his/her local pet store and bought the cute puppy wuppy in the tiny widdle cage, and didn't think twice. I haven't even seen show dogs from breeders that cost that much, especially for a golden. Try 600-800 for a pet quality, and maybe 1k for show quality. Maybe. @OP YDI for leaving your new puppy outside all damn day. Dumbass. Next time get a needy dog from a shelter or a healthy dog from a reputable breeder, and if you're gonna leave it, keep it inside. Think of your new puppy like a kid: if he can do it, he will.

There are also a lot of people being way too critical about the dog being left out. Note that he had a fence. Maybe he left the dog out because it wasn't housebroken yet. Maybe he left it out because he thought it would enjoy some sunshine. Maybe he left it out because he had a ******* fence around his yard and generally fences stop things like this from happening.
