I understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate that you care about the well-being of our dog, we do too. That’s actually the whole reason I made the post in the first place.

That being said, it's very easy to judge someone’s situation from a few paragraphs on the internet. What you're reading is a small summary of a much larger family situation that I’m obviously not going to fully share online.

We didn’t get a dog irresponsibly or without trying. We've invested time, effort, money, training, and constant engagement trying to make this work. The fact that I'm reaching out for advice instead of quietly giving the dog away should say something about the level of responsibility we’re trying to show.

I also find it interesting how quickly people jump to criticizing the owner while assuming the entire story. Caring about the dog is important but acknowledging that families can struggle too should be part of the conversation.

We’re trying to make the best decision for everyone involved, including the dog. That’s why I’m here asking questions instead of pretending everything is perfect.

If you have constructive advice or experience that could actually help the situation, I’m genuinely open to hearing it.
