A man found himself in a difficult situation when his father passed away, leaving behind a 9-year-old cockapoo. With no one else to care for the dog, he decided to bring her home, despite his wife's objections. The wife was furious, claiming he should have asked her first, as it's her house too. The man was hurt by her insensitivity, especially since he was grieving at the time. Fast forward two years, and the wife still refuses to walk the dog, calling it 'not my dog.' Is the man in the wrong for adopting his dad's dog without consulting his wife? Let's dive into the story. 🐾🤷♀️
