Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML

Today, I was driving with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML

Today, my dog ran away. I looked for him for 5 hours, and when I came back home, he was waiting for me at the door. FML

Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML

Today, I got pulled over by the cops for swerving a lot while driving. I tried to explain that my dog bit the back of my neck, but as soon as I opened my door to show him the bite marks and the dog, it ran out of the car. I still can't find him. FML

Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML

Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML

Today, I searched our neighborhood for our lost dog. After screaming at the top of our lungs, driving around in circles, and asking strangers, we realized we took him to the groomers this morning. FML

Today, after finally giving up on the search for my lost dog, I realized that my neighbors had found her and are convinced that she was a stray. They won't give her up and are now mad at me for trying to take my own dog back. FML

Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML

Call the cops

Today, I woke up to find that my dog was missing. I spent about an hour searching for him when my psycho ex-girlfriend texted me his photo. She'd kidnapped him. After driving over there, she shot paintballs at my car. Now I have no dog and a colorful car. FML

Hmm...Ever thought that the reason your boyfriend never trusted you with his dog was because you were weak and clumsy? I'm sorry, I hope you find your boyfriend's dog, preferably alive and unwounded. YDI though because of "five hours later, I still can't find her" ~ Why are you even writing this on FML when you're still searching for the dog?

YDI big time. If it was a small dog and it slipped out of your hand, then you should never walk a dog again. Now I'm assuming it's a larger dog, and in that case you shouldn't have asked to walk her if you weren't sure if you could hold her back or gain dominance over her in such a situation. I will say, however, that if your boyfriend didn't trust you to walk the dog, he shouldn't have let you go on your own for the first time.

YDI. A dog should never be able to simply pull the leash out of your hand. It sounds like you were just holding the leash, when you're supposed to put your hand through the loop and then wrap it around your wrist so that the dog can't pull the leash away. You should respect his decision, she's his dog, not yours. Maybe you've never had a dog, but I have four and I would never trust anyone outside of my immediate family to take any of them for a walk, the reason being that only myself and my immediate family have been with the dogs all their life and know how they behave and how to deal with things involving them (like chasing cars). Didn't you think that there was a reason he wouldn't let you walk her? I suggest you get off your ass and go find her. Five hours isn't a very long time, there's still a lot more searching you can do. You let her go, so it's your responsibility to find her, even if it takes days. You can't just give up on her after a few hours.
