I don't see how they can. I didn't know abandoning animals was a "thing".

There was a r/bestof a few months ago about someone that lives in a rural area and they always had people drop off dogs in the area and the dogs always died horrible deaths, either to cars, starvation, or a neighbor trying to defend their property from an abandoned hungry dog. This was after a few neighbors had already taken in 2 or 3 stranded dogs over the years.

Edit: THank you /u/mutt1223 here is the link he posted to the post in question: https://np.reddit.com/r/dogs/comments/3gvb0l/vent_take_your_unwanted_dog_to_a_shelter_if_you/

True, my family has a house in a rural area here on my country and we just adopted more two dogs that were just left. We also once had to take care of a whole litter that as abandoned alongside its mother, most of them we managed to donate but kept the mother and one daughter.

[–]boblablaugh 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

God. I remember reading that. I have never and would never abandon an animal, but before reading that, I guess I would have thought that it was a better option than sending them away to be put down or something. And that just shows how ignorant I was because everything this person said about what happens to the animals makes perfect sense...

[–]adrift98 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I read that thread, and I don't think that's always the outcome. My dad lived on a farm, and he tells stories of taking in strays who were dropped off in the area all of the time when he was a kid. They always had 2 or 3 dogs around the farm house that would get scraps, a warm barn, and seemed to enjoy life pretty well.

[–]KingPeanutButter 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He said most of the time it's the outcome. There was one dude in the thread who had adopted like 17 dogs, but it normally doesn't end well.

It depends on where you live; I worked at and ran major shelters in the Seattle area; it really doesn't happen much or at all around here. But talking to the old timers at our shelters, apparently it was a major problem in the late 60s and early 70s.

But my friend who lived in rural Kentucky says this is extremely common there. In fact it's very common that animals aren't even really much part of the family (meaning never allowed inside), Ugh.

[–]KingPeanutButter 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're the worst type of people. With the fact that it's so easy to get them to someone who will take care of it and that getting the dog was a choice in the first place.

I've got family up near Yosemite and it's a thing for folks from the city to drive up and abandon entire litters. Infuriating.

My roommate has a beautiful golden retriever that she constantly neglects. I came home one day and her water dish was completely dry, and her food bowl was empty. She never takes her for walks, and when she does it's outside to go pee and right back in, honestly it's really depressing, and I can only help so much.

I've talked to her about taking better care of the dog she supposedly loves so much, but she doesn't care. Are there any avenues I can take to get this dog into a better, loving home?

[–]kmarielynn 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ask her if she'd be willing to pass the dog on to you, or suggest finding another owner who won't be neglectful. People like that don't deserve the privilege of having a pet.

[–]jerbookins 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Say "you're neglectful" and tell her all of these things that you told us. Don't be nice to her just because she's your roommate. If she's not willing to care for her companions, they shouldn't be hers.

[–]Fin_Brody 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is exactly how we got our dog, Merts. My dad was at a park and some van pulled up and threw a black lab puppy out and drove off. Obviously my dad went and got her and brought her home. Turns out she had Parvo but after some expensive treatment she lived and has been the absolute best dog we've ever had.

One of the saddest things I've seen in person was when I got my second dog from an RSPCA shelter, a woman walked in with these two massive dogs and she was in tears because she couldn't take care of them.

It'd crush me to have to give up one of my dogs but someone who would just abandon it to die instead of taking it to a pound is fucking scum.

My dad did this to two of our dogs. One when we were at school (kindergarten i think) and the other was when he took me to drop off our other dog. I was only 10 years old and my dad did this in front of me.

I will never forget seeing my little dog Crystal...running after our car. I was crying so much and my dad was trying to explain to me that our dog will be fine. Years later, me and my family were at a party and he was talking and joking with some of the dads that our dog Crystal died, run over by a car and he laughed. He fucking laughed.....I was a little older then but i was insanely pissed. Now that I'm older, me and my siblings have two new dogs, a boy and a girl, that we raised since they were puppies. When my mom first told me that she was planning to get our dogs for my younger siblings, my heart sank and thought back to my dog Crystal. I told her no and that my younger siblings weren't ready (nor was I ready for the emotional baggage). That was until my mom brought the girl puppy. She was the runt of the litter and was sandy white...just like Crystal.

So I named her Crystal as well. My Dad "jokingly" told my younger siblings that if they didn't take care of the dogs, he'll throw them out too. I snapped at him, told him "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FUCKING THROW OUT THE DOGS IN FRONT OF THEM LIKE YOU DID TO ME!"

Fuck you Dad....why don't I fucking throw you out in the country side and watch you running after my car as I drive off laughing about how you getting run over by a car?

TL;DR: My dad abandoned my dog in the country side while he took me along to do it when I was only ten years old. Siblings have a new set of dogs now. My dad jokes about throwing them out and I bitched at him.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that. I lived out in a rural area most of my life, and if it means anything, almost every dog that got left out in my area was taken in by a loving and caring family. 90% of the dogs I've owned were strays and i have always taken them in for life.

[–]DrMethodical 82ポイント83ポイント  (7子コメント)

Mostly because I thought it was just a joke when it was a ginger because nobody does that just because the kid has red hair. When it turned into a dog it became a bit more real.

[–]ComedicFailure 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]spermface 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, it was too surreal to hit anything, but then suddenly change one element, and it's very real.

[–]CalvinDehaze 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because the narrative of the story didn't make realistic sense if it were a human girl. Throughout the video the parents were just being cruel assholes, but leaving a kid behind doesn't make sense. The kid would be found, tell the cops who the parents were, and the parents would be arrested. And maybe a little part of you is glad that the girl won't have to grow up with asshole parents. That kid would have a chance.

However a dog can't tell anyone who their owners were, and that shit happens in real life way more often. Dogs are also completely devoted, and dependent, on their masters for their whole life. Leaving a dog behind like that means you're basically giving it a death sentence when all it wanted to do was love you.

The story in the video was brilliantly told to draw the comparison and show you what you're actually doing when you drop off a pet like that.

[–]EvilVegan 33ポイント34ポイント  (2子コメント)

Nothing, she was a ginger until they made her a dog.

They should do the reverse, and show him driving away from a ginger at the end; maybe then someone would care about them.

[–]DotGaming 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Am I missing something from the gif here? Why is everyone thinking that she was neglected because she's ginger, and not because the parents are neglecting her for no reason?

If the kid was blonde, people wouldn't assume she's being abandoned because of her hair colour, right?

I really hope I'm missing something here...

[–]RafTheKillJoy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because disliking gingers is the butt of many jokes.

[–]fizikz3 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

for me it's because I've had pets but not kids, so I can relate to the connection I feel to my pets but I have no idea what it's like to have a kid... I imagine once/if I have kids of my own the thought of abandoning them will be equally horrifying.

Because a kid knows to stay on the side of the road and wait for a car, but a dog would probably run away and get lost.

Kids have a lot more of an idea of what to do in the situation, dogs are helpless.

[–]boobot_sqr 99ポイント100ポイント  (10子コメント)

I hate to admit it, but I really wasn't giving a damn about anything happening to the kid. As soon as he threw the toy, and I realized it was an analogy for dog abandonment, I started to get a lump in my throat. As soon as they actually showed the dog, I lost it.

You know, I really should feel that way about a human being.

[–]Ninjabassist777 31ポイント32ポイント  (2子コメント)

I didn't feel as bad for the girl because I knew this was supposed to be unexpected. I was expecting a comedic plot twist at the end. Plus I wouldn't expect them to actually abandon the girl.

[–]SarcasticGamer 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

Err. People abandon kids all the time. Maybe not on the side of the road, although I wouldn't put it past people to actually do that, but people abandon kids all the time at a family member's house or take them to a store and just leave. People are fucked up.

[–]Butt_Drips 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

Probably because it's bordering on fiction to think of someone abandoning a person like that (not to say it's hasn't happened), but people do that to dogs A LOT.

[–]pmMeYourBoxOfCables 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's because you know no one will do this to a child (well almost no one) but when you saw the dog it reminded you that there are people who actually do do this.

[–]UiiN 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

In a movie, person dies. Ok.

Dog dies, I feel horrible. Tears.

Think it is because I think of dogs being someone that wants love and give a tonne back. No conditions.

[–]TheSingleChain 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also dogs are seen as innocent in understanding human affairs. So you're just beating a puppy in people's eyes.

[–]FoxBattalion79 54ポイント55ポイント  (5子コメント)

this isn't fair. obviously you're not going to treat a little girl the same way you treat a dog.

the real message is about abandonment, which is completely wrong and cruel. but don't try to get my feels riled up because you wouldn't play with the dog while you're at the computer. or running away from her on the beach. you know, dogs do that. they chase and follow. people who truly try to treat dogs like they treat humans end up on the dog whisperer show because they can't figure out why rex doesn't listen and fights with other dogs.

[–]blackisthelight 26ポイント27ポイント  (3子コメント)

I had the exact same thought--dogs crave structure and boundaries. I get the tragic point about abandonment, but teaching your dog that it's not always playtime isn't exactly a harmful lesson.

[–]Acrovore 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the owner didn't understand / didn't have the patience to teach the dog that.

[–]Obliviously-Obvious 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Dogs don't crave structure and boundaries. Do you? I prefer to get to do what I want when I want. I just know that I can't/shouldn't. It's something they are taught in order to get to be a part of the pack. Dogs are pack animals and want to be in a pack whether it's with other dogs or humans.

The overall point to the commercial isn't that just abandoning the dog is wrong. It's saying, don't just get a dog (or any other animal) as something to just have and to fill your time when you want it. They feel as much as part of the family as you do whether you feel like they are or not and what they really crave is attention and love just like any of us. What they were trying to show is the family in the video got a dog and then didn't do the things they should for something that considers itself to be part of the family. Then, the family got annoyed that the dog felt lonely and acted out so they abandoned it.

Before we adopted my dog, her owner had done exactly this. Drove off into the middle of the forest, 20 miles away or so, and abandoned her. She was just a puppy - remarkably, she found her way home. I don't see how anyone could have abandoned such a sweet and intelligent creature like that.
