Heartbroken Doberman Cries When Owner Surrenders Him To Shelter
BarkPost ^

Posted on 12/12/2015 9:22:41 AM PST by Altariel

On May 1, Jill Dyche was filming dogs at the Carson Animal Shelter in California when she heard a dog crying. When she found the 9 year old Doberman, she saw that his owner was surrendering him.

Jill captured the Dobie’s heartbreak on video and shared it on Facebook. It soon went viral.

Thank you.

It happens on and off and is just a fact of life, now.

His real owner did, not the dad who turned him in.

The unwitting son was broken hearted but the rescue got him from the shelter and would not give him back.

I have Trupanion on both my DObermanns.

It seems like a lot to spend every month but when stuff like Odin’s cardio eval cost $700 and I get back 90% of that fee, it’s really not.

That’s bad. I wonder how he’s doing now.

He was crying? No he wasn’t.

Glad he’s adopted anew, though. Pretty dog.

I don’t know.

After the woman who ‘adopted’ him went on a nasty rant in the rescue group, I left it.

She was one of those people who, rather than doing the right thing, does the self-righteous thing.

Not as active as he used to be, HUH.
So thats a good enough reason to dump a family member like last weeks garbage?
The previous owner of this dog should be tracked down and thrown into the nearest garbage bin.
My Old Jack is 18 years old now and can’t even get outside to do his business; yes I do get tired of cleaning up the piss and sh#t, but he is MY GOOD OLD BOY and a family member, no different than taking care of my mother and father when they were in their late 80’s.
As long as the bleach and rags hold out(I got lots of both) and he is not in any pain, Jack will remain at home with his daddy who loves him like a son.
When the time comes (and I think it will be before the end of this year) he will go to the Rainbow Bridge with me holding him in my arms, telling him what a good boy he is, and that daddy will someday meet him again, so we can run, hunt, and play in the fields of tall, green grass.
This will take place in his home; where he feels safe and happy, and I will give him a wienie before the vet (house calls cost a lot more, but I don’t give a sh#t) arrives.

YEP; unfortunately some “so called people” just don’t get it.

*Again*, the -owner- was in the military, overseas and had no idea his traitorous father had dumped his dog until it was to late.

There was a huge fight to get the dog healthy and returned to the son but the woman who got the dog out refused to return it to the son, who was crushed by the loss of his dog.

So it’s a mixed “happy ending”.

I just love the way some folks use the euphemism like “surrender your dog”; let’s be honest here, “IT’S KILL YOUR DOG”, but have somebody else do it out of sight and out of mind.

Thanks.

There are days when I wish some of you were here, to really hug me.

I think a lot depends on how the dog is raised, fed, and cared for.
I had Rawly with me for 22 years, he was a Chow/Retriever mix about 90 pounds.
My son was 21 and my daughter was 19 when Rawly died.
I used to tell my kids they had better mind their manners, “I had that old man longer than I had them, so who would I get rid of first”, I think it scared them straight occasionally.
I have had Old Jack with me now for 18 years and he was about 3 or 4 (not real sure) when I got him.
Jack is a Black Lab/Newfoundland mix and he weighs 123 as of his last vet appointment.
He is failing now pretty quick, but he will be with his daddy till the last.

My daughter adopted a one year old gorgeous shepherd mix earlier this year and he had heartworm. She’s a vet tech, so that helped keep costs down, but it was still very expensive. You are right — care costs can really add up.

Thanks. I didn’t see that. That’s especially rough. I hope his son provided an ok to dad.

The dog never cried, just bs to draw attention to video...blah!

9 years is not old, our German Shepherd lived to 18 years, and I can’t imagine surrendering a dog because he/she is old.

All of mine stay home with me for that last goodbye/good girl/good boy moment.
My wife and kids will be adequately taken care of when I croak, and the comfort and security I can give my dogs by paying the extra dollars for the vets house call is more than worth it to me.

Nope.

He had no idea that this was even happening.

A woman in the forum, who was a successful show breeder in that area, had contacted the shelter and was picking him up the next morning.

She was going to pay for his medical needs out of her own pocket and do the right thing.

When she got there the next day, to get him, she was told a “Dobe rescue” had come before they opened and literally waited until they unlocked the doors and they took him.

All of us in the forum were gutted because we knew the son would never see the dog, again.

[all of this took about 16 hours, with us watching the posts/developments in real time]

A huge war broke out with sides who wanted the dog reunited with his soldier owner and the other peta-like side, wanting the dog given to “better people”.

There were two tragedies, here.

The first, the dog being dumped and second, the son losing his beloved dog while serving his country.

I left the forum after that.
