Mother gives away son's dog to his ex-wife 😱🐶
A mother has caused controversy after giving away her son's dog to his ex-wife. The son had cheated on his wife and moved back home, bringing the dog with him. However, the mother felt that he was using the dog to try and manipulate his ex-wife and was not taking proper care of it. After consulting with the ex-wife, the mother gave the dog back to her and her children. The son was angry and called his mother an a**hole for giving away his pet. What do you think? Was the mother right to give away the dog or should she have let her son keep it? Share your thoughts and reactions in the comments below.
Commenter is NTA for not letting ex-husband keep dog.
