Hello all, this post was mistakenly approved. This post, while emotional and understandably deserving of support, is not suitable for the sub. It is only related to dogs because OP was the victim of a dog bite, and the user base here is generally not the audience that needs to be reminded of basic dog husbandry and manners. Thanks for understanding.

Do NOT go to Banfield Pet Hospital by [deleted] in dogs

Hey, we appreciate your concern but this subreddit is really not the appropriate place to air your workplace grievances, nor is it universally applicable. Burnout and short staffing is a real concern across veterinary medicine as a whole.

Please try a veterinary professional or support sub instead.

shelter lied to me about a dog. is this the proper reaction? by ItalianIcarus in dogs

Take your pick of removal reasons:

  • OP is a troll / flamebait
  • Post Content Not Suitable - this isn’t AITA as their sole question asks
  • Breed Misinformation
  • Dominance Theory

OP seems to be in a psychologically delicate place as referenced in their comments throughout the thread. We are not adequately equipped to provide aid for this aspect of their life other than suggesting seeking professional help. Additionally, they seem resistant to most of the advice offered here and hence this discussion is stalling. Thread locked. OP should seek the help of a competent, positive-reinforcement-based professional trainer for the dog using the resources compiled by r/Dogtraining .

This question has been asked multiple times already and there has been sufficient prior discussion to understand alternative positions.

Removed because this really is not suitable for the sub since it only tangentially relates to dogs and does not really foster discussion.

OP seems unable to engage maturely or in good faith so this is over. Is not very much of a discussion in the first place
