Though many people consider pets as friends or children, they do not think
animals have equal rights to humans. Though most try their best to take care of the animals and check their health monthly, not many owners send their pets to school. Therefore, this Reddit thread may startle you as the poster’s boyfriend wants to quit his job to home school his dog.

A Reddit user called
u/stop-sign-donut shared a weird and hilarious story on the subreddit
r/tifu. She had a boyfriend, who was described as “sweet” but “not the sharpest tool in the shed”. Her significant other was a pet lover, and he considered pets as humans. He had a dog named Chowder, so the poster thought he took that idea from a dog food commercial.

When he expressed that thought, the woman joked that he had better give Chowder free education until the dog reached 18, just like a person. Surprisingly, instead of laughing at her statement, her boyfriend took it seriously. He believed that it was a good idea to educate his beloved dog.

The boyfriend then started to find a training center for his dog. After myriads of conversations with many companies, he determined that none of them could match the human education system.

Therefore, he made up his mind to train Chowder on his own. The problem was he wanted to become a full-time dog teacher, so he had to give up his job. He planned to provide Chowder with fundamental dog math, reading, and science.

The Redditor strived to talk to her partner about the issue, but her effort was in vain. Though her earnings were sufficient for both of them, she was concerned about weird struggles she might face in the future due to her boyfriend’s decision.

This story seemed unbelievable to many netizens. They asserted that if it was a real situation, the boyfriend must have had a problem. If he did not have a health-related issue, he might take the dog as a reason for his real desire to quit his job.

Some commenters advised the poster to end this relationship for the sake of both her and her boyfriend. She did not seem to appreciate her partner with the “not-so-bright” remark, and based on the guy’s weird intention, the situation would likely end up worse.
