Moving Out and Taking the Dog: Right or Wrong?

Our heroine, a 19-year-old girl, rescued a puppy from a storm drain and used her car savings to nurse her back to health. But when her family tried to pass the dog off to her immature little brother, even attempting to change the dog’s name, she’d had enough. After her brother yelled at the dog for pressing the ‘out’ button she taught her, our protagonist lost it, moved out, and took the dog with her. ‍♀️ Now living in a cheap apartment, her family is blowing up her phone, demanding she return the dog. But is she really in the wrong here? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
