Its christmas is she cruel???

my best friend has her own house with her boyfriend and they have a 4 month old baby, they have a really well behaved labrador.





she told me the other night they are getting rid of the dog and taking him to a rescue centre, i asked why she said coz they baby is picking up toys and putting them in his mouth and the toys are covered in dog hair,





all i could think is what a poor excuse its like 3 and a half weeks till xmas and they are putting ther dog in a rescue centre, ther dog is used to having his own back garden and sleeping under his table on his bed nice and warm next to the radiator, now he is going to be wondering what he has done wrong and will be locked in a cage for christmas all sad and lonely,





i cant help but think that that is really cruel and a rubbish excuse, what do you think? and think about it babies have grown up with dogs around them there whole life and become best friends for kids

Its christmas is she cruel???
omg i just hate people like them ,yes they are being cruel.Its unbelievable just because they have had a child . Its a poor excuse people like them make me sick .That poor dog they should be giving the dog extra attention now the baby's just arrived .god that's made me so angry .
Reply:Yes, they should get rid of the dog if they are not going to be responsible enough to keep the place clean for their baby.





Now is a good time to get rid of the dog, because it would be adopted by the time Christmas rolls around since dogs are a big gift.





The dog itself will be sad, until it is adopted. It will then love and adore its new owners.
Reply:Sad, irresponsible and just plain mean.......


I have a 9 yr. old yellow Lab, she is the best friend I could ever have and extremely well behaved in the house and Yes, she sheds, as do all Labs....and it's hard to control, and requires alot of cleaning and I still don't get all the hair cleaned up. But I would NEVER, EVER just kick her out because of that....it's been frustrating at times, but once they settle into your family life......they are part of the family!!





Your Friend, (pardon me) is thoughtless......and should have never even been allowed to have a pet if that is all they think of.......


Maybe you could help find a home for the Lab....(or take the sweet doggie to your home?)
Reply:I think its rubbish too buts that people for you. The dog will probably end up much better off though.
Reply:That's very terrible--it's quite a poor exuse to get rid of a dog. Maybe talk to them and try to make the re-consider their descision. Explain to them how horrible it is to get rid of their dog just because of a little hair-and that there are solutions. Maybe suggest that they keep their child away from him?





Or you could also try to find another home for the dog. Im sure other people would love to own a beautiful labrador. Maybe one of your family members, or your other friends?
Reply:What a sad reason to get rid of a dog. That is really terrible.





But honestly would you want her to keep the dog and be mean to it or neglect it?





If it is going to a rescue they will find a good home for it, someone who will love the dog and take good care of it.





It is better if she gives the dog up that way it will find a better home.
Reply:I think thats horrible - just think though, it would be best for the dog if it did not live with people like that.
