My Dad Killed My Dog

by Brad

I'm confused. Angry, shattered, upset but most of all confused. Confused in how I'm supposed to feel towards my dad.

Up until 2 days ago my dad was my hero. I have lived with him alone for the last 6 years and everything I have achieved in life I did for him. He probably doesn't know that but thats just how much my dad means to me.

Then this role model of mine pulls a stunt like this. Has my best friend of 7 years put down at the vet just so his girlfriend's dog can have the backyard when she moves in soon.

Apart from absolute disbelief, I'm at a loss in what I'm supposed to do. I still can't believe my dog won't be there wagging his tail at me every morning like he has done for so long. The reason for which he was put down? I mean isn't that just wrong or is it just me? Replacing a dog for a dog? Sure my dad never really got attached to it like I did, but I mean come on... killing it surely isn't the answer.

And to make it even worse I was told about three hours beforehand. Three hours to try to contemplate what was about to happen, let alone try to say farewell my dog. I mean I shouldnt have to farewell it. What has it done wrong?? HELP!!!
