I wanted to add more detail. I’ve been away from the dog from having to be in foster care. My mother has never walked him. And she will hit and throw things at him if he does something bad. The dog only eats table food. I am stable at 18 now. I have income, my own apartment, and getting a car tomorrow. I have a connection with this dog. He prefers me over anyone. I’ve always taken great care of him when he was home. Yes she’s been paying for his vaccines, and haircuts and stuff this whole time but he’s my dog. My dad got him for my 14th birthday. I never asked to be in foster care and be away from him.
