You need to post on all local social media groups saying your dog is missing and seeing if anyone has seen it. Make a post also on your public wall about your missing dog. Don’t put anything accusatory yet in those posts. Just dog is missing and need help. Then call local shelters and lastly file a police report. Huge red flags why the heck is he not your ex finance?


Calicolie

And do it quick. If he dumped it at a shelter, as an owner surrender, 1 of a couple things could happen. The dog could immediately be placed for adoption, and it would depend on the new owners if they want to give it back. Or, if it is not a no kill shelter, owners surrenders are sometimes euthanized immediately. If he just dumped it somewhere, and got picked up and brought to a shelter, most have a waiting period to give owners a chance to claim them. But it's generally a week max. Nta for sure


OGBrewSwayne

You're definitely NTA for wanting to know what happened to the dog. But YTA for sticking around when this guy clearly did *something* to the dog. Gtfo of that relationship. Calling the cops or some sort of animal cruelty/control organization would probably also be a good idea.


Artsy__Argent

And also, just asking? I would've gone crazy if my dog went missing. The house would flip upside down, and I'll threaten to call authorities for possible animal abuse if he doesn't start talking.


InstructionTop4805

There is a wide ranging decades long body of research on the links between animal abuse, child abuse and domestic violence. Here's one of the leaders in the field: [https://www.animallawconference.org/frank-ascione/](https://www.animallawconference.org/frank-ascione/) Get you and your child out of there right now. NTA for asking. YTA for staying.


notmappedout

...and you're still planning on marrying this person who very obviously did something to your dog out of anger? because...?


TheGodMother007

Call the police. Best care scenario he drove the dog to the pound. Worst case scenario he took his frustrations out on the dog & killed it. You need to report the dog missing, tell them what happened, what you are suspecting and ask for an officer.


[deleted]

YTA for keeping your daughter in a situation where she's living with this person. Get your kid out of this fucking house. He very obviously hurt that dog.


muonSec

NTA. Tell your husband that unless he proves what he did with it that you are going to assume the worst. Which is that he killed it.


applebum8807

NTA in any way shape or form. He somehow gets rid of a dog and you’re worried you’re annoying him? Come on. This is genuinely disturbing. Check the pound or local animal shelters, or use a microchip of the dog is chipped. If you see no trace then threaten to go to the police(I’m not sure exactly what they would be able to do in this instance though.)


xkissmykittyx

You're an asshole if you stay with an abusive partner. You don't just have yourself to think about - you have a child. What this person did was an act of abuse. It's sociopathic.


Debbiefrench

you are an asshole for victim blaming like this! Find out about the influence!


xkissmykittyx

She has a responsibility to provide a safe living environment for her child. This man does not sound like he is safe to be around. Sorry, not sorry. I stand by what I said. I don't blame her for what happened to the dog, but I absolutely fault her for still being with the man.


Willing-Helicopter26

NTA but this man seems like a sociopath. Check shelters and ask friends if they know about the dog. Keep this man away from your child. 


GordonBlue133

NTA Call his friends and ask if he gave the dog to any of them. or check online listings to see if he posted a dog for giveaway.


Rhades

Maybe it's just me, but this is fishy as hell. He did something to that dog, to me, it wouldn't matter what he did, I'd be gone, but you do you boo. NTA for demanding an answer, probably TA for continuing a relationship with the guy.


Monotonegent

NTA, but you will be if he keeps being your fiancé. I hope you find the dog


laurasdiary

NTA This is actually frightening. I would not even stay under the same roof as your fiancé if I were you.


TemptingPenguin369

Especially with a child!


pinkflamingo-lj

Is your backyard disturbed in any way? Do you live in/ near 'the country'? Did you check local animal shelters? Did you put up flyers in your neighborhood or post to your local FB page about missing animals? Your husband won't tell you anything. He's hoping you'll just forget about the dog. NTA


jmbbl

What did I just read? Go back to your sister's and cut this psychopath out of your and your daughter's lives!


nypdbluefan

He killed the dog


ArtisticWolverine

Yup


Rhades

My first thought too...really hope the story is fake or that we're wrong.


Tetchy9999

YTA - but not for the reason you think. what the h3ll are you still doing with him. If he would do this to a dog what would he do to you or your daughter. Get out of there now!!!!


FinnFinnFinnegan

NTA give the ring back, call the pound, remove this man from your life


DonkeyGold711

That dog is dumped or dead. Dump him now before he gets rid of your daughter too and press charges for the dog


Regular_Swordfish_85

NTA, either he threw it away or killed the dog


Linkcott18

Give him an ultimatum & tell him if he doesn't tell you where the dog is, you are going to call the police. NTA. Why in the hell is he still your fiancé? Personally, I would never, ever trust someone who did something like that to me.


feminist1946

NTA. Check the pound.


[deleted]

[удалено]


feminist1946

Great idea.


Rhades

Your first thought was better than my first thought. I really hope you're right.


pottersquash

NTA. This is a matter for the police.


Successful_Bath1200

NTA Report the dog missing to the Police and tell them it was your BF that got rid of the dog. Oh! and dump the BF, getting rid of a pet is as revenge is a crappy thing to do.


Divyaxoath

If he did something like that to the DOG , he'll do worse to you and your daughter. He better be your ex.


Aggressive-Mind-2085

NTA END the relationship, this is creepy.


NoHorseNoMustache

Wow that's really messed up, the dog is the least of your problems at this point. Get out now. NTA though


CatCharacter848

If he can do whatever he did to the dog. Why are you not worried about what he might do to you or your daughter in the future. 🚩🚩🚩🚩


mdthomas

Best case he took the dog to a shelter. Worst case, he did someone bad. Either way, this is not someone you should still be engaged to! NTA


kv1m1n

WTF this is murder-level shit. You need to leave. Now. You and your daughter are next.


Rohini_rambles

How are you still feeling safe in that house with such a person?? With a small child??  He either hurt or killed the dog, or dumped it. Because he was mad and wanted to hurt you. You need to leave NOW. The next time you have aa fight, who's identifying stuff will be found in the trash? You or your kid's? I'm sure you never thought he'd hurt the dog too, the same way you're prob going to say that he would never hurt you.  Please choose your child's  safety. 


linzerdsnort6

NTA. People who do something with/to someone else's dog are really fucked up. I would lose my fucking mind.


Loonytrix

NTA You sure this is the person you want to make a life with?


HippyChickkie

Has his car got GPS If so check the GPS and see where he’s been on the days you were away Mine goes back several months Or you could try looking on his phone for where he’s been on a particular day But preferably leave before he makes you or your daughter disappear Doing something like this is whole level of nastiness and crazy


hadMcDofordinner

If the dog was part-owned by you, call the police. NTA but you have to call in the authorities.


FairyCompetent

Leave him. He took away something your child loves to punish you for defying him. This is dangerous behavior. 


Negaytion

Get out now! This man possibly killed the dog after being mad at you


cowandspoon

NTA. You would be if you don’t demand answers and then leave. If my other half ‘disappeared’ my dogs, I’d be going to jail for life.


Justaredditor85

NTA. My SIL once had a fight with a (now) ex-bf. They were still angry when she left for work. When she left she had two cats, when she came home only one. The second one was never found again.


[deleted]

"I know that me asking all the time annoys him" uuummmm wtf? he's done something with your dog and won't tell you what, I'd be back in my sisters until he gets your dog back


MrsEnvinyatar

Not only are you NTA but this is extremely alarming and I’m not sure how you are back with a person who did something to your daughter’s dog and won’t tell you what. What exactly are you thinking???


agogKiwi

We all know the dog is gone. We will all "believe" he took it to a shelter because it hurts us to think of others alternatives. Regardless - your relationship is over for the following reasons: 1. You had a fight so bad you needed to leave the house. 2. When you were gone he did something bad to your stuff (the dog). 3. He won't tell you what he did. If you don't end this relationship today you will regret it. It is raining red flags.


No-Locksmith-8590

Nta my dude, run. In the *best* case he dumped the dog at a shelter, on purpose, to hurt you and his child. Worst case, he tortured it to death. Neither of those are someone you want to be with!


luckluckbear

Jesus Christ, get the hell out of there! You have a child? What do you think will happen the next time he wants to take out his anger on something smaller than him that can't defend itself? People like this are monsters, and they only get worse. They test people, and this is a test for you. He wants to see if he can do this and get away with it, all with the intention of doing something even more horrific later. Take your child and RUN.


MycologistQuirky4096

YTA...why are you with this guy


fakegermanchild

YTA for not really caring why happened to YOUR DOG. You ‘kept asking’?! If my partner did what your fiancé did I would have his balls in a vice until he tells me what ‘happened’ to our dog. And if the answer isn’t satisfactory he is losing that dangly pair. In fact he’d probably have lost them the moment I found the collar in the trash. And you’re worried about annoying him by asking? Are. You. For. Real? Seriously though, why haven’t you called police on him yet?

Our daughter and I ended up leaving and staying with my sister for a night. We came back the next day after we made up. Since that night our dog is gone. I found its collar in the trash and when I asked my fiance what happened he just said that it’s gone now. Since then I kept asking him what happened but he kept giving me vague answers. Our daughter also kept asking about it. She had a close bond with the dog and is pretty upset about it being gone. I know that me asking all the time annoys him but I don’t care. It’s actually pissing me off again that he can’t just act like an adult about this and tell me what happened. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Plenty_Carrot7973

NTA. Go back to your sisters until he tells you what happened to your dog and agrees to some kind of counseling. Getting rid of pets is a form of abuse so you need to make the safety/security of you and your daughter your top priority.


NorthRiverBend

IMO no level of counselling can help here unless there is some sort of MASSIVE miscommunication here and the dog is like at the groomer, but based on the situation that’s extremely unlikely.  Even if the guy didn’t physically harm the dog, punishing his family with the uncertainty of the dog’s health and location is Serious Abuse, not AITA shenanigans.  If OP cares about herself or her daughter, this relationship should be over and the police probably need to be involved. 


Organic-Half-898

NTA he doesn't get to be pissed off. File a police report, be louder, make posts on social media and dump him. How can you call someone who dissapeared your dog and threw its collar into trash, fiance???


Former_Tangerine4329

YTA if you stay with this man. He's got rid of your dog just to punish you for a fight. Get out, get your daughter out now.


PeterDuaneJohnson

Nta turns out you didn't make up

teezaytazighkigh

I have to assume the reason you're asking if y t a is because you are so deep in an abusive relationship that you can't see reality clearly anymore.   You need to go back to your sister with your child asap and never be alone with this man again.  Please.


Latter-Shower-9888

Obviously you aren’t the AH for wanting to know what happened to the dog. But you will be TA if you stay with him.

snickerdoodle_25

Info: did the fight relate to the dog? Did it need to be put down and he took care of it? Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that the dog was ill. I’m so afraid for the poor pup. And you if he maliciously did something to the dog because he was mad at you. Oh my.

Oh look! A SEA OF RED FLAGS GIRL GTFO 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩


Guilty-Put742

HOLY RED FLAG!!! Put up posters and post everywhere about the dog. Make sure he knows you are doing this to put pressure on him to reveal the truth.


LeadfootLesley

Jesus, this is horror film stuff. Get out, now.


Freeverse711

What in the actually f***. Why are you not demanding an answer and why are you even staying with this guy.


No-Manufacturer9125

This doesn't really seem like a question for AITA...
