Today, my ex adopted a dog from the dog pound. It was the same dog he made me get rid of while we were still together. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. 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, the dog my now ex-boyfriend and I own together bit me bad enough that I needed stitches on my face and my hand... he then broke up with me and saying it was all too much for him and has kept the dog... FML
Today, my boyfriend and I are devastated to return our newly adopted "cat friendly" dog to the shelter. He's perfect, other than the fact that he clearly wants to eat our cats. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML
Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I'd trusted that he and his ex were “co-parenting” a dog that he and his ex adopted while they were together and nothing more was happening. His ex is pregnant and he’s the father. He insists that he doesn’t love her anymore and it was a “mistake.” He wants me to take him back. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you really liked the dog, why didn't you adopt it after you broke up with him?

Wow...that's just messed up. I mean, you kinda deserve it for abandoning your pet - that's just cruel, you should've dumped the guy as soon as he seriously suggested it so it's kinda karma. The situation is still really messed up though so FYL..

Were there absolutely no other options for what to do with the dog? Not keep it in the house or something like that? I won't even rate this - I feel bad for you both getting pressured like that, not having guts enough and giving in and having such an asshole for boyfriend. I also feel bad for the doggie - they really get attached to the human that owns them and should not be treated like that - they also have feelings.

Not to mention he could have easily been euthanized!

YDI for abandoning your pet. That's a terrible thing to do. I hope you get reincarnated as a dog and someone abandons you, so you know what it's like to be comfortable at home one day and then be ripped out and thrown in a cage awaiting death.

YDI for choosing your boyfriend over your dog. Boyfriends come and go but dogs tend to stay by your side until the end.

Talk to him about it. If he doesn't like the dog, then you're both going to be miserable and the dog will be too. It'll be living with someone who doesn't love it. Just talk to your ex about paying him back for the adoption and, if he agrees, all of you will be happier. Even if it was a bad break up, step up and big the bigger person. Your ex is just being petty.

This guy must be an evil genius. He sees you walking your dog in the park and decides he wants it. He becomes your boyfriend. Makes you give up the dog. Breaks up with you, and adopts him. Genius!

How's he a genius? He's more of an evil villan

Wherever anyone makes you choose between them and another person, pet, or anything, you should choose the one who isn't making you choose because they clearly care more about you. If that sentence is confusing, I'm saying you should have chosen the dog. Nobody could make me give up my dogs.

I know what you mean. If they know having a pet makes you happy, then they'll just accept if. People who care about you want you to be happy.

At least he gets stuck with the shit

How can someone "make" you get rid of a dog? YDI.
