I guess people really hated that idea.

I think many people believe that owning a dog, or any other pet for that matter, is just pure fun and that aren't many responsibilities hiding that most people don't think about before deciding to adopt one of these furry friends.

The truth is that you have to be ready to invest a lot of time and money into your pet and especially if you plan on getting a dog because there are lots of hidden costs that come with certain breeds that are bigger and more dangerous.

It's a sad truth that certain people have to accept if they simply don't have the time or money necessary to own a pet because these animals are our friends and they deserve to live in a home where their needs are met.

One of the most important hidden costs that come with larger dogs is training them and while there are lots of dog owners who haven't had their dogs professionally trained, it might be necessary if you want to own a larger dog, like a husky.

This Reddit user is a proud husky owner and during one of the play dates he had with his local group for huskies to play together, one of the owners said that her dog was biting and snapping her hand a lot.

She explained that she had tried everything she could and nothing worked so she believes that the only solution is to euthanize the poor thing.

OP couldn't believe what he was hearing so he suggested that she gets the dog a professional trainer but the problem was that the lady couldn't afford one.

OP thought that the only sensible thing left to do is to find a new home for the dog so that someone else can get it the training it deserves.

The lady was outraged by the idea and OP was soon kicked out of the group for suggesting such a thing. You can scroll down to see the full story because this is one that you don't want to miss.

It doesn't seem like the lady tried too hard before deciding that euthanasia is the best way to handle this issue.

OP suggested that she needs to find someone who will adopt this dog and meet their needs, because she obviously can't.

The lady decided against sharing the entire story to other dog owners in the group.

OP was rightfully upset after this and turned to Reddit for some help.

As always, the people of Reddit tried to help in any way possible.

It's quite clear that rehoming would be a much better idea that euthanizing a poor dog.

The other owners need to know the truth.

If you can't afford a pet, don't get one.

They only know one side of the story.

A nice long conversation could solve all the issues here.

This is one of the craziest stories we've seen, because who decides to euthanize a dog because it's not perfectly trained? The fact that the other dog owners in this group just decided to trust the lady and just kick OP out of the group like this just adds more craziness to this story.

Reddit sided with OP, but do you feel the same way about this?
