Would it be wrong of me to ask for my dog back?

Yes it would be.

The dog is the pet of the other family now. How would it make you feel if you had a dog for a year and the previous owners asked to have it back? What would your reaction be?

I'm sure you would refuse.

So yes, while it is sad that you don't have him anymore, don't dwell on it. He's happy with the other family.

Its time to let it go.

YES IT WOULD BE WRONG. morally and legally. Had you behavied as an adult and asked to visit the dog, you might have been able to take him to the park once a week. Now no chance.

You don't give a dog away and then get it back, there is a reason why boot camp didn't work out for you, and know you are so upset about giving away your dog. Talk to someone about why it didn't work and why you are so upset.

The dog has adjusted and is happy in it's new home, he is now part of that family. Taking him away would hurt the dog and the family. NOT AN OPTION.

I don't mean to be mean, but may you need to start thinking more of others than yourself.

You flunked out of boot camp ( look at the reasons, not easy to do) Now you want the dog you gave up back. You need help to grow up. I don't mean to be mean, it's just the way it is. The best thing you can do is move on a forget this dog, get help with your issues, and then adopt another dog. You will love it just as much.

If the family has young kids ( under 10) I'd say no way. Asking wouldn't be rude if you did it politely and without expecting anything. It never hurts to ask. Even if they say no, they might be fine with a " joint" custody. Letting you take him for a weekend once a month or taking him out to a dog park or on a walk. Owning a dog is great but so is a break from the responsibility of one. Just remember they have had him for almost a year now, you are asking a lot for them to give up their pet. Don't be surprised if they say no.

It must be really hard for you, going through all that upheaval and having to come right back home without even your dog to help you through. But, you have to consider the new family and the dog in the equation. They are all happy with each other now. It would be a sin to get in the middle of a happy family unit. What you might do is call them and ONLY ask how he is doing. If they ask why you are still around, tell them that you got an honorable discharge, but dont' say anything else (otherwise you will make them feel sorry for you, which isn't fair). If they say they love him and he is great, don't say anything more, just thank them for taking him in and tell them to say hello for you. For the dogs sake, you do not want him to see you again if he is happy in his new home. I would only volunteer to take him back if they said it wasn't working out so well and asked you if you would take him back. For you to call and ask for him back is immoral and unethical. If they love him, it will break THEIR hearts and it will confuse him terribly. It would be better to just get a new puppy and start over. Good luck, and I hope that you are well soon.

Yes, it would be wrong for the dog and also it's new owners. After a year, I'm sure the dog loves it's new family and that they love the dog. I doubt seriously that they would return the dog to you so why bring it up m

Get another dog for yourself, give it a good loving home and move on.

You gave away that dog. Hes assimilated into a new home. Let go.

no it wouldn't be wrong
