Leaving your childhood home can bring up a mix of feelings like excitement, nervousness, and looking back at the past. For this 22-year-old Redditor getting ready to start this new chapter, things got more complicated because of their old dog, Scruff. Scruff's been part of their family for a long time.
What made it tricky was that OP was mostly taking care of Scruff. OP gave him medicine and food and took Scruff for walks. When OP mentioned that he was going to take the dog with him, OP's mom quickly said Scruff wasn't his. That led to OP saying no to looking after the dog since it was not his. Unfortunately, things went wrong fast. Scruff got sick because he wasn't taken care of properly. Scroll down to read the story in full!
