I was on the wrong side of this one. The dog was a small dog, a rescue by the police from a crack house, with severe trauma. It peed on its owner in excitement when she came home. It attacked larger dogs in the dog park. It barked incessantly when anyone other than my then GF approached the house, including me. I wasn't crazy about the dog, but I liked her well enough that I was willing to tolerate it to be with her.
My GF regularly complained that the dog was adopted by her daughter, who left it behind and left her with the burden of taking care of it when the daughter left ;home. Finally, she said multiple times that she needed to re-home it left her parents farm where it could roam free.
After yet another complaint by her that the dog was a burden, I suggested that if it was bothering her so much, maybe re-homing it was a good idea.
The next week, the dog was still there, but I was gone, as she broke up with me.
What can I say? Never get between an owner and their dog, even by agreeing with its owner when they claim it is a burden to them and talk about getting rid of it.
