So my boyfriend Jake and I have together almost 2 years. When we first were dating he was fostering a German Shepherd dog that was about a year and a half. So he had the dog for about three months before we became official.
Anyway When we first started dating it went by really fast and my boyfriend ended up staying at my house a lot and then I would stay at his house too.
I started noticing the dog was getting extremely aggressive in certain aspects.
Before we started dating the dog bit my boyfriends roommate A in the leg so hard that the Roomate had to get stitches My boyfriend and roommate A told me that that bite was justified because Roomate A was being drunk and stupid so I let it Go as the dog was just defending itself. Then a couple months after that when I was at their house for a party the dog bit the other Roomate B in the face unprovoked. The bite wasn’t as serious but it did scare me.
A couple months after that the dog bit Roomate A again This time because the dog was jumping on guests and Roomate A had to pull the dog down and the dog turn around a bit Roomate A in the arm and he had to go to urgent care. this was was unprovoked as well
This was the third dog bite in less than three months and I kept warning my boyfriend that the dog was going to bit again unless he got the dog trained and my boyfriend kept reassuring that the dog would never bite anyone again a couple months later we got a new place and the dog was getting possessive of my bf and the dog acted aggressive and start snapping at me and my boyfriend went to reprimand the dog it turned around and bit my boyfriend so hard in the hand he had to go to urgent care and get stitches. This was bite number four in less than four months at this point I was extremely worried that the dog was going to bite someone else and I kept telling my boyfriend that the dog bit one more time that we have to get rid of the dog and again he kept reassuring me that this will never happen
We then had a friend stay with us for a few weeks and the dog tried attacking him over and over again and we ended up having to give the dog to my boyfriends parents until our friend left and at this point my friend both of my boyfriends roommate and I both told my boyfriend that he needed to get rid of the dog or get trained because it was going to be a liability and my boyfriend just kept making excuses.
A few months later I am coming home from work I let the dog out of the crate and he attacks me unprovoked bites me in my arm and leg and I end up having to go to the ER for stitches and at this point I’m furious and tell my boyfriend to get rid of the dog but instead he gives a dog to his family.
The dog has been with my boyfriend’s family now for almost over a year and we are moving out of state and he wants to bring the dog with us but I told him that there is no way in hell I want that dog anywhere near me unless the dog is trained and neutered
Since giving the big dog to my boyfriends parents and family they totally have not given the dog any training or for the dog neutered and the dog is just as wild and worse than when we had him except that there hasn’t been a biting incident.
I told his family that the reason why the dog isn’t biting anyone is because at least at their house the dog isn’t in a crate for 12 hours a day and at least someone is home all the time to at least let him play in the backyard but when the dog was living with us my boyfriend wouldn’t even give the dog a walk he would only let the dogs play in the backyard for at least an hour a day or so and then the dog would just be locked back in the crate for six days a week. The dog is wild dangerous and is a liability and I shouldn’t have to put myself or others in a situation where the dog can bite and seriously harm someone.
My boyfriends dad even convinced my boyfriend not to get his dog neutered which is the stupidest thing ever because getting a dog neutered could help with a lot of the aggression issues and the thing is that that animal should never have been kept after fostering my boyfriend should have given the dog away because even my boyfriends friend who gave my boyfriend a dog to foster told my boyfriend that he wasn’t responsible enough to have the dog but my boyfriend didn’t listen.
I understood that my boyfriend loves the dog but I think he loves the dog for selfish reasons and if you really love the dog he would have got the dog trained a long time ago.
Am I being selfish for telling him that the dog is not moving with us because he has shown me over and over again that he is unwilling to do what it takes to take care of the dog?? I just need advice thanks
