Redditors React To Dad Punishing Kids And Taking The Dog Away
Everyone remembers their first pet, whether it was a dog, a cat, or a fish. But, it's a lot of responsibility raising an animal, especially if you have no experience before. You have to go out for walks, keep strict feeding times, and play with the animal constantly to get some energy out– unless the pet is a fish of course. Still, not everyone is as prepared for this experience as others. That's what happened in this situation, where a parent folded after a lot of coaxing by their wife and two children, and wound up getting the family a dog. The boys were 10 and 14, which should have been old enough to take care of a dog. Plus, with their mother on their side, these kids had nothing to worry about that. But, they slipped up, and after about five months their father noticed that the dog wasn't getting walked, or fed regularly enough. What would you do in this situation? You're too busy working to take care of the dog yourself, plus you made a strict deal with your children that they'd only be allowed a dog if they could take care of it. Would you give the boys another chance, or take action?
In this case, the father took action. He grabbed the dog and took it down the street to his In-Law's house. Since arriving, the dog is loving every minute– and the father hasn't stopped getting grief from his family! That's why he turned to Reddit, and asked if people thought he'd been too harsh. Listen to him explain it, and then hear what Reddit has to say before you make your own conclusion, and be sure to keep reading for more wild recaps like this one!

Face Your Fears, They Say
By the way this guy starts off his story, we were convinced that we'd think he was the asshole. Like, who proudly boasts about not being a fan of animals– especially on Reddit? Still, as he starts explaining more about his children's conduct around taking care of their dog, we started swinging more and more towards his side.

Something Smells Fishy
Not walking is one thing, and it's a lot, but not feeding is a whole other level of shirking responsibility. We're not surprised this guy acted how he did and took the dog away from home. But, we were on the edge of our seats reading to see how his kids reacted, and what happened with the dog afterward!
