My friend has a male labradoodle. He is a puppy. They are expecting too much of him. What should I do!!?

Question

He might have to live on a farm! :(

Answer 1

Whats so poor about a dog living on a farm ?? You need to stay out of their business and let them live their own lives. At least the puppy isn't in doggie jail waiting for a home or waiting to be euthanized. Gee just think the poor dog is going to have room to run and romp and play and fresh air. What a shame,Gawd get over it that puppy is going to have a great life. Worry about your own life.

Answer 2

what so bad with that...my 6 dogs live on a farm, and the are fine..its their dog so dont you worry!!

Answer 3

There isn't anything wrong with expecting too much out of a dog, if we kept the bar level and low, we wouldn't have made strides with service dogs.

As for their lack of compassion for "being less cute" there really isn't anything you can do. Provided they aren't breaking any laws, they are safe.

If you think they're being cruel, follow these two definitions of cruelty:

Passive Cruelty:

Passive cruelty is typified by cases of neglect, where the crime is a lack of action rather than the action itself - however do not let the terminology fool you. Severe animal neglect can cause incredible pain and suffering to an animal.

Examples of neglect are starvation, dehydration, parasite infestations, allowing a collar to grow into an animal’s skin, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when an animal needs medical attention.

In many cases of neglect where an investigator feels that the cruelty occurred as a result of ignorance, they may attempt to educate the pet owner and then revisit the situation to check for improvements. In more severe cases however, exigent circumstances may require that the animal is removed from the site immediately and taken in for urgent medical care.

Active Cruelty:

Active cruelty implies malicious intent, where a person has deliberately and intentionally caused harm to an animal, and is sometimes referred to as NAI (Non-Accidental Injury). Acts of intentional cruelty are often some of the most disturbing and should be considered signs of serious psychological problems. This type of behavior is often associated with sociopathic behavior and should be taken very seriously.

Animal abuse in violent homes can take many forms and can occur for many reasons. Many times a parent or domestic partner who is abusive may kill, or threaten to kill, the household pets to intimidate family members into sexual abuse, to remain silent about previous or current abuse, or simply to psychologically torture the the victims, flexing their "power".

Unfortunately, the "loss of love due to lack of luster" for dogs isn't illegal. I've had people turn animals over because they redecorated and the dog didn't match the furniture. It *could* be worse.

Answer 4

well its not your dog

if they arent breaking any laws or something, there is nothing you can do

Answer 5

Y r u worried? I take my dogs up to my aunt and uncle's farm all the time they love it. Sure when they puppies u have to watch them closer but when they r older they r fine. My Dogs range from large to small. Its perfectly fine in fact it seems to me better then living in the city for them.

Answer 6

Why don't you offer to adopt the dog...sounds like they really don't want him, nor do they deserve him. Maybe the people on the farm will love him and treat him right.
