Woman Asks If She Was Wrong For Keeping Her Dog Despite Her Boyfriend's Hatred Toward It
Dating someone who doesn't like our pets can be a problem, especially if they don't try to get along with them. In a Reddit thread, we found, there's a story about a guy who gave his girlfriend an ultimatum about her dog, and it's quite something!
Our original poster (OP) has a 2-year-old dog named Brandy, a friendly Jack Russell who enjoys walks and cuddles. She invited her 32-year-old boyfriend, whom she has been dating for four months, over to her house.
When the boyfriend arrived, Brandy started barking and growling at him. This was unusual behavior for Brandy, as OP had never seen their dog act this way before. That's when the boyfriend told OP that she had to choose between him and her dog, or he would end the relationship. Isn't it ridiculous? Keep reading for all the juicy details and how OP decided.

Yet, there are also users raising questions about why OP, who clearly loves and values their dog, would decide to date someone who doesn't share the same love for animals.
