We sat down to begin the feast when we heard a loud bang which we all knew was an auto accident. We all got up and went outside to see. It was a serious accident so we all stood by to offer help. When we finally returned to enjoy the feast we found everything in disarray, food scattered everywhere including on the floor. Our mischievous dog had jumped up on one of the chairs and on to the table and sampled a little of every dish. If it was not eaten it was tipped over on to moms special table cloth. Our dog was the worst behaved dog I have ever heard about yet we held on to him until one day he ran away and did not return. No one searched for him or wept.

Oh, get off your Animal Heaven high chairs. This dog never stopped peeing on our carpet, contacted every disease a dog can get, fought and lost to cats and dogs, ran away constantly and came back after eating garbage and smelling like crap, vomited on the carpets. I have had many dogs since that one and frankly, I give my parents credit for not taking that dog for a one way ride early on in owning it. I think we had him for about ten years which is way too long for me. A dog knows the difference between the inside of a home and the outside but that dog it seems was almost deliberate in misbehaving. I once adopted a street mutt in Mississippi and never had to train him to do anything. Many people get rid of animals that cannot adapt to home life or choose to let them live outside the home.
 
I have a feeling that fmdog44 is just trying to get our hackles up. Either that or he is still angry as the dog probably bit him.

Why not Google how many dogs and cats are euthanized every year then explain why you are not adopting them? Close his thread the animal rights people have their torches lit.

How many thanksgiving dinner stories involve the pet eating the dinner? In one way it is funny.

Yes, it is funny, if only you ended it there. My actual first thought was I hoped he didn't eat any turkey, because that is really bad for dogs.

You made a mistake posting this on a forum with practically 100% animal lovers and worrying about that poor dog and wondering where he is
and how he's doing. I personally would be worrying out of my mind, no matter how misbehaved the dog was.

I have a little dog who thinks he's king and is spoiled rotten and thinks I'm his slave. But I accept that it's mostly my doing.

That's how I got my cat eight years ago, when he became a stray because his owner moved and didn't make the effort to find a home for him. 10,000 cats are euthanized a year here at the Hawaiian Humane Society. So, in a way the lady who owned him did him a favor. I really didn't want to take on the responsibility of another pet, but I couldn't just let him try to survive on his own. And he's turned out to be the sweetest cat in the world. I remember the first time I fed him and then when I walked way. He clamped on to my leg so I couldn't leave and maybe be abandoned again! I went to a pet shop to purchase a pet carrier--it was going to be a permanent one or a cardboard one to take him to the shelter. I stood there trying to make up my mind. Finally, I bought the real one, and took him home with me.

A neighbor across the way took over the ownership of a dog where the owner had two dogs, one of which was run over by a bus and the owner didn't care. I see the dog's new caring pet parent walking the dog every day.
 
My 13 yr old buddy will still revert back to his natural instincts if opportunity presents itself. If I happen to put my plate down, lets say on a end table or coffee table, he will help himself. I know that but sometimes will forget so that's my fault. He is however trained not to go into the dining room or kitchen. He will lie on the floor looking in but hasn't gone into these rooms in years. If he has an "accident" then that's a red flag that something is wrong.

A pet is an investment and needs to be loved and properly trained.

I have over the years adopted 6 cats and one dog and all have lived happily to a ripe old age till the visit to the Rainbow Bridge. I now only have Bummy Boy left. I think I have done my part as each and every one was a shelter critter.
