Finding a new Home

well a dog has feelings. so it loves you. if it listens to only you it sees you as its superior. You fed it…you gave it a bed…you gave it loving attention…maybe that’s far more than it gets at it’s own home…Dogs respond wholeheartedly to love and caring…You showed him that, and now he wants to be YOUR dog…

You would bond with the dog if you spent some time with it and named it and such and kept it for a little while.

I apologize for making the assumption that I did, but can only go by the information in the original post. As a Tech, and an animal lover, it seems strange that you would ask if it’s “bad” to feel detached from this dog. You must see this everyday at work…people who simply cannot bond to a particular dog…and you know that finding someone who really wants this little dog is the priority goal in this…

Im a vet technician, I’ve been around A LOT of dogs, and have had a few in my lifetime. I know how to train dogs and make them behave. I have a better bond with my parents dog’s wich I hardly ever see than with this one. Honestly, I didn’t really want the dog, just felt sorry for it being stuck in a darn pen all the time. Im working on finding it a permanent home. Please don’t make it seem like I’m a bad pet owner. Im finding out its hard for people to understand the situation…

No, it’s not “bad” for you to feel this way, feelings are just feelings…however, I’m assuming you originally took this dog because YOU wanted it…so now two people have thought they wanted this dog, and have not…If you want to make yourself feel better about it all, then make a BIG effort to find this little dog a PERMANENT home…someone who really does want the dog.

Also, why get another dog??…NO dog, without training and work, will mind or listen any better than this dog did. Maybe save pet ownership for down the road.

I have had the dog for 7 months now. I used to spend a lot of time with her. shes a good dog but very shy and won’t listen to anyone but me and its very frustrating.
