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

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!

I totally agree with number 60. You know nothing about owning a pet... try a single goldfish then work your way up to a hamster but thats it never get a dog again... hope you never have kids.

Yo fault, for not getting a shelter dog when you've never had the responsibility of taking care of and providing shelter for a dog before.

Should have adopted.

I agree, you should have adopted, it woulda been much cheaper. You would have deserved that one, but since you hadn't had a dog before, it's understandable. Next time tie up your dog!

Why would you leave a new dog in a back yard?! You totally had that coming. Go find that poor dog and find it some responsible owners. Maybe you should try goldfish.

$1400 for a Golden Retriever? You probably went to a pet store too and bought one of those overpriced inbred dogs instead of finding a good breeder. Lol. You so had it coming.

Wow! $1400 dog? Personally, I would get one from a shelter, but to each his own. I hope you find it soon! Maybe call around and see if any of your neighbors have seen it running around or something?
