It is my son’s dog but he cannot have it in his home at this time. It is a country dog and son lives in city, no yard, and works 12 to 14 hours a day.
Son cannot face it.
Turns me into the monster that wants to kill his dog.
No, you are not a monster. But its your sons responsibility to decide. You tell him that he was the beneficiary of the dogs love and loyalty and making that decision is the price that is paid. You can help him out, but its his responsibility to take care of this.
You need to rent the movie A Dogs Purpose. Tell your son being busy is no excuse. If the dog is going to be put down, its your sons arms that need to be around him. Not yours
