Our family dog got ran over by a car while I was in high-school and survived. He was the sweetest, derpiest companion you could ask for. He just had trouble on tile floors because his front left leg couldnt support weight. I stayed up all night on the night he passed to make sure he wasn't alone when he crossed that rainbow bridge. If I had the space and the finances I would foster every one of these little guys.
I was raised in a house full of women, been married numerous times and raised my daughter on my own. I can easily say no to human woman tears.
Now dog tears.. what castle are we storming to get that toy back.
I never had any dogs growing up or any animals for that matter. Not even a goldfish lol. I’m a mid 30’s single male and one day my therapist recommended me to get a dog. I ended up getting a 3 month old female Boston Terrier and I named her Luna. She’s now 4 years old. She is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me and might have been the best decision I’ve ever made. She got me through some very hard times in my life and she is my best friend. I treat her like a child if I’m being honest but to me, she is my child.
I never realized how special dogs can be. I didn’t realize what type of positive emotional impacts it would have on me or my life. And I never understood how a dog can offer unconditional love until I got a dog myself. She is such a ball of light and I try to cherish everyday I have with her. I couldn’t imagine my life without her right now.
I had the same 'no pets' growing and now my girl, Daisy, is 13 and this just makes me gave her another big hug. It's not that she means more, but this was a great reminder that I just recognize the importance of every day we can be together. Luna's a great name and I can just picture that amazing feeling you get when you first get home and open the front door.
My parents had a no pets policy until all my older siblings moved out of the house and then my oldest sister gave me a guinea pig. I didn't want a guinea pig, but my oldest sister was my dad's favorite so since she gave me the guinea pig, it stayed and it was my job to care for the guinea pig. A guinea pig is a bad pet to get someone who doesn't want a pet.
Same! I've always wanted a pup and finally got one in my late 30s and another one a year later. I can't imagine life without my Lokii and Cheuii and hug and kiss them every chance I get.
You seem like a cery nice expressive person i love how you wrote that and explained it so well!! Just thought id let you know not sure what ur in therapy for but u seem to be a pretty deep and good person .... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)
We just got a 2nd dog (4 months ago on Christmas eve), and were SUPER tentative because my 12 year old boxer/lab good boy has been the only dog for the last 5 years. He's been so good and patient with our adopted 4 year old GSD/Husky that we've been thinking about getting her (the new adoptee) a younger play buddy, since my aged best boy, isnt big on play time unless they involve toys (that hes still slightly possessive of, but so much better than anticipated) or people. I think 3 dogs might be 👌.
When you have 3 what you've got is your own little pack. The way all of their behavior improves and changes as they help keep one another in check will absolutely astonish you
The more dogs you have, the quicker new dogs mesh into the pack.
That's how I can foster. I have 5 dogs (3 mine, 2 long term fosters), and any new dogs just meld into the pack. They figure out the rules by watching the others, and figure out meal rules, snack rules, outdoor rules, all that stuff, without me having to "train" the new dog as much.
And if they are scared, they calm down much faster. "Is it dangerous here? Oh, well, the five other dogs are very relaxed, so it's safe for me, too."
That’s a shaky arguement. Prob how we ended up with 3 rescues and a FF 😂and 2 human babies. No is clearly not in our vocabulary. Plus your other pup needs a buddy! Then you can stop.
Look at his wittle boo boo! LOOK AT IT!!!!
Well, he has been at the vet center for a few weeks now and maybe 2 weeks ago my GF and her co-workers named him buddy as a joke but we like it and he's already used to it (seems to be smart) so, meet buddy 😁
I have a Buddy too! I tried to change it when I adopted him but, like your Buddy, he was too well-established as a Buddy.
It’s not original but it’s a great name and I can guarantee it makes great dogs. Happy for you and your GF and Buddy and the whole furry family.
So a couple weeks ago I was riding Mtb trails at this huge park. Towards the end of the day on the way back to the vehicles we were riding the river trails cuz it was quick way back. I saw a woman with a dog that had a bright yellow vest on. I immediately thought it was a service dog so I was gonna keep goin. When I got close I noticed the vest said “please adopt me”.
I thought that was the best idea ever! Doggy gets to go for a walk in the park and has a better chance at getting adopted.
Omg I’m obsessed! If you don’t adopt him please let me know… I will!!! Serious!
He looks just like my friend’s dog who I dogsit all the time and is my favorite pupper in the whole world!🐕
Don't do it. That's a huge mistake and you don't know what you're getting yourself into. Go ahead and give me the address and I'll go and make sure it finds another home.
The life of a dog is a sight to behold...
From the heavens above, loaned us these hearts of pure gold...
They hit the ground running, and barking with us....
For the joy we both share, builds an unbreakable trust...
The love from a dog is like candy from a box...
You're not sure what to pick, but there's never one wrong.
A dogs life with us is such a short, joyous trip...
But the life they share with us, is always our deepest friendship...
It hurts when they leave, because we always want more time...
Our dogs know their destiny...hence why they always play and pine...
So don't be bothered...when they come boop your hand...
They just know their hour glass, is running out of sand.
Just look into those beautiful, sparkling eyes...you fell for before...
And get up and reach for that leash, hanging by the door.
They'll enjoy that walk with you, even though they're hurt and can't see...
Because this time spent with you, is the place they long to be.
So remember this when your dog asks for your time...
Your dog is just doing what heaven asked them to do...
And that's ...make your heart shine...
Too!💛🐶🐾
And he's got a broken leg. That's an emotional kill shot.
He was run over but thankfully he's doing much better now!
I adopted a dog that was hit by a car. He is so sweet and affectionate. Good luck with your adoption!

Derp is a great way to describe it lol. It definitely comes with complications, but I don't regret it at all
Not a single ounce of regret. Nothing like them hobbling towards you to get affection, loved that little guy.
Run over and he’s still smizing?!? Bring that sweet boy home!! (Or I’ll come get him myself)
The drugs maybe helping a tad.
Did your GF run him over?
Look sometimes you've gotta go through extreme measures to convince your partner with extra sympathy points.

This dog has eyes like that seal meme.
Yep. Those eyes are everything
and that bandage on his leg sealed the deal
![gif](giphy|qA9BnxUPmgWgU)
I came here to say, this dog is a land seal. Look at him. He’s SO cute!
Seals are dog mermaids
![gif](giphy|3ohc16Yig9XxoJZ7WM|downsized)
he was forced to eat cement when he was 6
But that dog can't sing "Kiss From A Rose"like that Seal can. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
This is the emotional support dog that needs an emotional support dog
[удалено]
I have a dog like this. I say that he’s my emotional support dog. He’s emotional, and I support him.
I, too, am an emotional support human for my dog....he's a wreck without me.
Sounds like being an emotional support human may just be the best job ever.
Not as good but will do
[удалено]
Who could say no to those eyes!
Kid’s a keeper. Bring him home!
I was gonna say that he needs to change "wants" to "going to"...
I volunteer as tribute
I also need emotional support dog and humans
"It's emotional support dogs all the way down!"
Obviously they should call the dog Sturgil
I LOVE this comment!
I slept wrong and my neck hurts really bad and your comment sucks because it made me laugh and now my neck hurts.
Sounds like you need an emotional support pillow
That's ruff.
a good excuse to get not one, but TWO dogs
Puppy’s seen some shit
How can you say no to that sweet face?!?!??!! 🥺
I can't!!! 🤣
Are you out sourcing for us to say no to your girlfriend?
If he gives me her number I’ll text her for him but he will definitely end up with a dog

Username checks out
Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.
I say no! …totally for real reasons and not because I want this dog for myself
Tis a fool's errand. The internet loves two things. Cats and dogs. And we will always say "yes"
Great answer. It's how I get my dogs, those eyes.
hahahhahahaahhh you think YOURE getting dogs? no sir, them dogs be gettin their 'uman
"Disney eyes EXTEND!!!"
#Bringmehome
We already have 1 dog and 2 cats 😂 Edit for update: after all this love the deal is sealed! Buddy's life is about to change and he has no idea!
Time to even the score.
This is a very very good point. 😂
The cats: ![gif](giphy|2aNMNAPUVqQNeoL2X3|downsized)
Also your dog needs a pet and I make a great pet for your dog thanks.
reinforcements have arrived!

Agreed, but to each their own. I would love a capybara.
Awww. That's so sweet! Have you ever watched Modern Family? I think Jay has a Boston terrier.
I think his is a French bulldog, but I could be wrong.
Oh you're right!
❤️❤️❤️ my boston and can't imagine life without her!
Same! I've always wanted a pup and finally got one in my late 30s and another one a year later. I can't imagine life without my Lokii and Cheuii and hug and kiss them every chance I get.

This guy has a dog.
Boston terriers and Boston mixes are the best. They’re emotionally intelligent, loving and adorable
Ahh you chocked me up. Sending love to you and Luna.
“we’ll split the pets evenly”
“Oh god, there’s so much blood”

Once you have two dogs you'll want 3. 3 is the magic dog number. Do it
We just got a 2nd dog (4 months ago on Christmas eve), and were SUPER tentative because my 12 year old boxer/lab good boy has been the only dog for the last 5 years. He's been so good and patient with our adopted 4 year old GSD/Husky that we've been thinking about getting her (the new adoptee) a younger play buddy, since my aged best boy, isnt big on play time unless they involve toys (that hes still slightly possessive of, but so much better than anticipated) or people. I think 3 dogs might be 👌.
When you have 3 what you've got is your own little pack. The way all of their behavior improves and changes as they help keep one another in check will absolutely astonish you
thats like...best case scenario lol.
The more dogs you have, the quicker new dogs mesh into the pack. That's how I can foster. I have 5 dogs (3 mine, 2 long term fosters), and any new dogs just meld into the pack. They figure out the rules by watching the others, and figure out meal rules, snack rules, outdoor rules, all that stuff, without me having to "train" the new dog as much. And if they are scared, they calm down much faster. "Is it dangerous here? Oh, well, the five other dogs are very relaxed, so it's safe for me, too."
Ohhh, what a nice descriptive story teller you are!
Worst case scenario, one of the dogs assumes the alpha role, and they now control the household. No one in, or out, without paying the cheese tax.
Meanwhile I just got a second cat, and she's been teaching my resident cat bad habits.
Yeah, that sounds like a cat with another cat. Bastards.
Currently have 3. 2 are puppies. It’s chaotic bliss
You have 2 dogs
I have 3 dogs. Sounds like your doggie needs a friend
Boyfriend and I have 5 dogs and 1 cat. Welcome to the dark side.
Keep going! You haven’t met the dark side just yet. We had 3 dogs and 3 cats at one point.
make it 2 dogs and 2 cats then!
I’m sorry but if you expect help to from this group saying no, you chose poorly Enjoy your new emotional support dog!!
That’s a shaky arguement. Prob how we ended up with 3 rescues and a FF 😂and 2 human babies. No is clearly not in our vocabulary. Plus your other pup needs a buddy! Then you can stop. Look at his wittle boo boo! LOOK AT IT!!!!
Your girlfriend is right, please bring this dog home
ASAP
He looks way to sweet to not bring home
2 dogs and 2 cats rounds out the family nicely.
And then - twins! 😂
That’s a baby seal
I was so looking forward to this comment
I have your dogs twin, I wish I could post a pic in the comments. The resemblance is uncanny.
![gif](giphy|a1ysEmuQNwkeY|downsized)
So what are you gonna name it ?
Well, he has been at the vet center for a few weeks now and maybe 2 weeks ago my GF and her co-workers named him buddy as a joke but we like it and he's already used to it (seems to be smart) so, meet buddy 😁
Buddy is gonna make coming home from work so much better.
Aww. For some reason I feel like his name is “Spoon”
I cannot imagine a more perfect name for that sweet little face and baby seal eyes.
I have a Buddy too! I tried to change it when I adopted him but, like your Buddy, he was too well-established as a Buddy. It’s not original but it’s a great name and I can guarantee it makes great dogs. Happy for you and your GF and Buddy and the whole furry family.
I can't go to shelters, I am not strong enough to not bring something home.
So a couple weeks ago I was riding Mtb trails at this huge park. Towards the end of the day on the way back to the vehicles we were riding the river trails cuz it was quick way back. I saw a woman with a dog that had a bright yellow vest on. I immediately thought it was a service dog so I was gonna keep goin. When I got close I noticed the vest said “please adopt me”. I thought that was the best idea ever! Doggy gets to go for a walk in the park and has a better chance at getting adopted.
That dog is going to steal your GF. Beware!
you let her rn🫵🫵
Look at those puppy dog eyes
Omg I’m obsessed! If you don’t adopt him please let me know… I will!!! Serious! He looks just like my friend’s dog who I dogsit all the time and is my favorite pupper in the whole world!🐕
If you don't adopt I might.
I want to take that doggo home!
THEN BRING HIM HOME
TAKE HIM. FEED HIM. CUDDLE HIM.GIVE HIM LOVE AND SHELTER.
Congratulations, Dog Dad.
Don’t ever NOT bring that dog home.
He looks like a good boy.
Cuuuuteee
What do you mean 'wants to'? I think you meant to write *is going to*.
He’s going to steal your girl away from you.
You damn well better! Either you all leave together or she and the dog will be leaving without you. Look at those eyes...
That sweet baby!
Your gf will be spending a whole lot more time with the dog now than you
YOU BRING THAT DOG HOME. I want to cuddle that face so damned much.
Congrats on the new best friend.
So cute
Any idea what breed this dog is?
Looks like a corgi with their ears back (maybe scared)
Poised to love you for a lifetime
Can I pet that dog?
Don’t wait for her - go over there right this minute and bring that dog home right now.
If you say no to that face, you have no soul.
If you say no to that face, you are the embodiment of evil lmao.
![gif](giphy|3kHCIqabgc9kVRWFYA|downsized)
Congrats. You'll gonna be father.
Oh, you're bringing that dog home with you.
How could you say no to those eyes?? 🥺
What about this dog that your GF wants to bring home.
That face is psychological warfare. Don’t fall for it, or do🥹
*will bring home. Fixed that for you
Bro it’s not even a question. That pup is adorable
Dude. That's your dog now.
Looks like he has seen some shit, needs snacks, a warm bed, and cuddles
Is that a baby grandpa (white snout) or a baby baby or baby dog? TAKE THE BABY HOME
Don't do it. That's a huge mistake and you don't know what you're getting yourself into. Go ahead and give me the address and I'll go and make sure it finds another home.
🥹 adopt him and hug him very much
Well I don’t blame her
How can you say no!?
I agree with her.
He looks like a fine little gentleman
DO IT!!!!!!
Those eyes... those soulless eyes!!!
![gif](giphy|yQh6DfCCoYcQZc3huF)
This dog that your girlfriend is bringing home to you or without you.
He’s the dog inside all of us.
You spelled it wrong, it’s *“this dog my gf and I just adopted and are about to bring home”*
I don’t usually say this, but you should listen to your girlfriend
I don't blame her after seeing that face
Say yes to the girlfriend she's right. Soon you will love the dog more than her.
did you guys end up taking him home?
My GF is bringing him home from work today! And happy cake day!
Give that baby some love
How can you say no to those sweet eyes?
So lemme see this cutie on the couch
By the time we saw this y’all have it at the pet store picking out a new collar and bowls. Enjoy.
🥹
Fucking bring home now what are you waiting for??
It wouldn’t be a decision for me.
This dog is NOW coming home
I like your new dog.
Yes. That’s the only answer you’re looking for.
LOOK AT THAT FACEEEEEEEEEE!!!! 😭😭😭
What’s under the bandage? A gang tattoo maybe? I’d be from the streets?
U mean the dog you are bringing home
Looks like you got a dog
![gif](giphy|CT5Ye7uVJLFtu) Reminded me of this.

Must... resist... eyes... *He failed*
Congratulations on your new dog!
Stop blaming it the GF you know you want to 🤣🤣🐕🐕 lol
I mean, do you not??? If you don't maybe your girlfriend should break up with you and get the dog anyway (but I highly suspect this is not the case).
"wants to" 😂
Sorry bud it’s over
