Imagine having to give up your beloved dog for adoption, only to find out that the new family changed his name without your permission! That’s exactly what happened to this heartbroken man who had to part ways with his German Shepherd, Willy, due to his future stepson’s allergies. He thought he found the perfect family for Willy, but when he called to check on his furry friend, he discovered they had renamed him ‘Rudy’. What followed was a heated battle over the dog’s identity.

A Battle Over a Dog’s Name: Who’s Right? ♂️
This distraught dog owner is caught in a fierce battle with the adoptive family over his dog’s name. He insists that they had no right to change Willy’s name to Rudy, while the family argues that the dog is theirs now and they can name him whatever they want. The situation escalated to heated phone calls, social media fights, and even a confrontation at the family’s home. As the dust settles, the man wonders if he’s overstepping his boundaries, and if his fiancée is right to think he should let the family decide. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this doggy dilemma…
