Today, I went to my father's house to get my dog, since I had left it with him while I was on a business trip. When I got there, my dad said the dog pooped on the floor a few days ago, and so he took him to the pound. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got home to see that my dad had let himself in. He told me he'd caught a feral dog that somehow got into my house, but not to worry, he lured it back outside and it ran away. So yeah, my dad set loose the dog I literally just saved yesterday from being euthanised at our local dog pound. Thanks dad. FML
Today, my dad came to visit me. By visit I mean he arrived, took a huge smelly dump and left. This is the first time I've seen my dad in months. FML
Today, coming home, I discovered that my dog had left me a beautiful mound of poop in the middle of the corridor. He'd made an effort, though: there was a roll of shredded toilet paper next to it. FML
Today, I stepped in dog shit, barefoot, in my own bathroom. The dog had been outside for two hours earlier, and I'd watched him take a dump. Apparently he was saving some for when he got back in the house. FML
Today, I came home from my vacation. My sister had been taking care of my dog and my apartment while I was away. As I walked in, I was greeted by a floor covered in poop and a destroyed couch. FML
Today, I got a puppy. I just found out I can't bring it on the family trip. To save me the trouble of finding a friend to take her in, my mum handed her back to the pound. FML
Today, I was taking out the trash and I came upon a bill from a veterinary hospital. It was for $50 and it was a bill to put my dog down. My Dad said my dog was missing and I put hundreds of signs around the city. FML
Today, my dog got his head stuck in a container, panicked, and shat himself all over the living room. FML
Today, I cleaned up my dog's crap after my wife asked me. Five minutes later she yelled at me for being lazy as she slammed the door leaving for work. My dog had shat in the exact same spot, apparently to make me look stupid. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when he stopped in the middle of the street and took a dump. I looked around furtively but saw nobody, so I just kept walking. I stepped in it on the way back home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe if you can go to the pound and explain the situation to them, they'll let you have your dog back? Either way, I think you should talk to your father and tell him that that's not okay. You know, like a 5 year old. Or spray him with a water bottle, you know, like a cat.

If anyone should be taken to the pound it's your dad.

If my father did something like that I would straight up LOSE IT. Aside from the fact that dogs can cost anywhere from free, averaging around $150, and up to $10,000, so that's a wide range of money you could've lost just in the dog itself not including upkeep. Your dad gave away a pet that I assume you love very much, for doing something that housetrained dogs only do when either sick or the person watching them didn't bother to let them out. I would tell my dad that if I don't get my dog back (and he is paying for any incurred expenses), I will take him to court for giving away my damn dog(especially if it was euthanized). I'd never speak to him again either. ik there are some people that aren't as "into" animals as I am and will be like oh it's just a dog, it's your father! you have to speak to him, blah blah. Just because they cared for me and my mom gave me life doesn't mean that they can do what they like to the things in my life. They will live with the choices they make.

Oh my gosh. I would never ever forgive him for that. Cut him out of your life immediately and if you ever have kids some day for the love of Bob never let him babysit. I do sincerely hope you get your dog back. p.s. people think I'm crazy for not going on vacations, but it's stuff like this that make me paranoid to leave my pets with anyone. Obviously not OPs fault, but just saying.

I don't think you're crazy I always consider my pets before planning vacations. They're like my kids.

solution: go to the pound and trade them your dad for the dog

Sounds like a proper solution to me

I HATE hearing about people who would do that to a dog. I have a puppy that I adopted after raising him under my foster care and if my dad or my stepdad did that? I'd lose it. Completely. I would search for my dog and downright cry if I lost him like that. I hope you get your pup back OP, and I hope your pup is super happy to see you.
