the great dog heist

thank u all for the love. talking about her & sharing her has helped me grieve ♥️

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful pup. Sending all the love I have to spare ❤️

Sorry but that initial rescue worker was horrid. I'd say worse, but I'll leave it at psycho. None of the shelters I used to volunteer with would have allowed that kind of shocking rudeness & prejudice for a hot minute. Glad you found Mei. 💜

she really was awful. she met me once & i was genuinely trying to impress her, but she /hated/ me. never understood why

You probably never will understand her response. Sounds like she had a previous bad impression from someone else & you reminded her. Likely an unconscious bias that wouldn't make sense to anyone else. You're definitely not like she described. Who knows who else she's maligned.

Love the subversive acquisition story. Got me with the onions at the end though. Sounds like a great dog. Miss my last one constantly.

Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for giving Mae the life she deserved. Dogs are the absolute best. And when you get that bond (it doesn't always happen), it's special.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving Mae a wonderful home.

We truly are blessed to have the time we have with dogs.

That was a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing Mae with us.

I saw this on Insta earlier so that's twice today you've made me cry 😭😭

Fucking hell I'm sorry, glad you made the final years of her life better than she ever had x

Oh no. Daisy and Oakley will miss their friend Mae they never sniff.

The goodest heist for the goodest doggo. 😭

So sorry for your loss, you gave her the best life possible. Even if she is gone, she will always be following you as a little shadow ❤️🫂

❤️ Thank you for sharing your and Mae’s story. Rest easy Mae. She seemed wonderful.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your shadow.

I grew up with a Shar Pei. Very loyal dogs.

This is very touching. Mae seemed very happy and loved. Thank you for sharing.

These 4 legged fuzz balls that come into our lives have one weakness And a gift We outlast them Thank you for loving Mae so well, for doing the hard parts, doing it right You'll shared her, forever Maybe there will be others, maybe not Now, just be together and know the love

sending you love and hugs❤️ i know all to well your heartache and so glad you and Mae found each other

I'm so sorry. It's sometimes not fair we get to outlive our best friends. Also I think I have some dust in my eyes.

All the feels. Im glad she had you to take care of her.

We don’t deserve them, yet they remind us every day that maybe we do.

Really sorry for your loss! You had to make a hard decision, but May will forever live in your memory.

🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 I know the pain of that loss. I've always loved my pets and did the best for them. You gave May the best life it could have had in those three years. Always remember that.

❤️

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for being there for Mae. We went through something similar a little over a year and a half ago and I still think about THAT last day every day. The dog's pure love, unadulterated by language, is just magical.

What a beautiful message. I recently lost my pupper too and this was very touching. Mae was really lucky to have you appear in her previously tumultuous life. So sad your time together was so short, but you both seem to have enjoyed it. May (Mae?) you heal with happy memories.

You gave the dog that gift of a love filled and fun last few years. In the end is all you can do. I know the pain of having to make that vet call

Sales lady strong armed her. It's a sales pitch to control the sale by forcing seller-dominance ahead of the actual sales & it lessens returns b/c "Who wants to go through that hassle of dealing with THAT person again". It's the correct thing to do when dealing w/ pets & emotions

what the fuck is wrong with you she was running a rescue not a backyard breeding op

Truly amazing story. Thank you for sharing! Been a fan of yours for the longest time and now even moreso after seeing this. Thank you!
