Today, it was my first day as an animal control officer. My first dispatch was to collect a dog that had been hit by a car. I had to clean up my dead dog on my first day of a job that barely pays rent. FML
Collection
Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I started my dream job of being a veterinarian. My first day consisted of having to put down 12 dogs and 5 cats. FML
Today, I started my community service at the dog pound. I like animals so I thought it would be a good place to do it. As I arrived they were throwing dogs that had been euthanized into a dump truck to be taken to a landfill. That was my job for the day. FML
Today, it was my first day working at a dog boarding kennel. I got bit... by my coworker. FML
Today, I hit my boss's car. It's only my second day on the job. FML
Today, at my minimum wage job, we received a half-way decomposed dog found in a lake. It was my job to tear open the bag and try to identify the breed and color. It would've been easier if the body wasn't crawling with maggots. FML
Today, I started my first day of work at our local humane society. I asked where the break room was, so my coworker directed me to a small room in the back of the building. The only place I get to take my lunch break is the same room where they euthanize, freeze, and cremate the animals. FML
Today, I was hired as a student assistant. I was excited, until I learned on my very first day that "Supporting the academic staff in their research" actually meant walking the professor's dog. FML
Today, it was my first day as a police officer. A couple of hours into the shift, we got a call. A man was drunkenly jeering and urinating on parked cars. That man turned out to be my father. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job at a nursing home. Not only were we short staffed, two residents passed away, and I got beaten up by an old man. FML
Today, I adopted a dog from the local shelter. I put the dog in the car and he was shedding everywhere, but I was ok with that because he was my dog. As I pulled into the parking lot, the dog began to poop in the backseat of my car. When I got him out of the car, he ran off. $100 for him to poop and run away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I like how the first 6 comments didn't even realize it was his own dog. sheesh, if I lost my little boy (the one in my pic), I'd be a wreck. sorry, man. I feel for ya.

you're not the only one who has to do dirty work for a living.

I don't think the problem here was that he's doing a dirty job.. I think the FML is that the first thing he did in his new dirty job is clean up HIS OWN dead dog that had been hit by a car while he was at work.

I see that now, I over looked it, though.

A lot of people missed the fact it was his dog..

This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry, OP. I wish I could offer more comfort than an FML comment. I would hug you if I could.

Your dog is your responsibility. You should have made sure he/she was unable to get loose and run in the street.

Maybe he/she did and the dog just happened to figure out a way to get out, or possibly someone else let the dog out... Not everything with animals can be predicted or prevented, especially with the smart ones. I have a shepard/ husky mix, and she always finds a way out eventually.

Don't bother asking who let the dog out. Next thing you know, people will be singing.

I was thinking this too. See, I'm assuming since he mentioned that this job barely covers rent, he's doing it alone. Who could have let it out? A burglar? I'm sorry if it sounds insensitive, and it's still an FYL, but why wasn't his dog kept in a safer place? Still feel for you, but don't worry, the job will get much better.

I have an Australian kelpie, she's brilliant, but not even her brilliance can grow her opposable thumbs to open the doors to my house and get out. It's 100% your fault if your dog gets out (if some other jerk didn't let it out). If you can't keep your dog inside (crate training, for instance, if you don't trust your dog in your house), invest in the triple threat: dog run, and a fence in case the run breaks, and the Invisible Fence for extra insurance. Or, an outdoor floored kennel, but make sure you give your dog a dog house, fresh water, and shade (dog house does not count as shade).

That sucks, it really does! However, I feel the need to ask how it got out into the road? Surely you secured it in the house or something before you left for work? If not then YDI. If it somehow escaped then that doubly sucks.

I'm sorry, but NOONE DESERVES IT. That is cruel to say that dog deserved to die bc he failed to lock it up. Even if his dog managed to escape it still does t deserve to die. Its a living animal.

Where exactly did I say the dog deserved to die?

am I the only one that gets the irony that dead animals don't need controlling..?
