Someone who finds a dog too difficult to care for probably shouldn’t be caring for two children if this is actually true - she probably just didn’t want the dog - in any case she is an idiot and the dog is way better off with someone who will love and take care of her. Hopefully when her husband comes back he will not even consider getting another pet while he is still married to this pathetic moron.

Tanya, I hope the dog gets a better home, and THANKS to Itchmo. The wife obviously is too preoccupied and self centered (and maybe a little jealous) to care for the poor soldiers beloved dog. What a bitch (I mean the wife). Millions of other soldiers wives do not have a problem making sure the family pet is cared for right along with the kids. PERIOD. THEY GO TOGETHER. They manage to keep a job, the kids and the dogs. The example she just set for the kids is detrimental in itself.

Why hasn’t someone contacted a Bulldog Rescue? That way the poor dog would be matched to a great home, but would be safe in a foster home until he was placed.

I hope the dog finds a good home and that the soldier and his kids find a new wife and mom who feels up to the task of being a parent and puts family first. This lady will be shacking up with the first guy she sees once her husband is gone. Her words and actions tell you what kind of person she is.

Exactly! I was a military wife for 21 years. NEVER would I have even IMAGINED giving up our pets! What a crappy excuse!
We [baby daughter, doberman, myself] LIVED in a Motel 6 in CA. for MONTHS ..because military temporary housing would not allow pets. I searched for a rental while my husband was at sea…and found a place.

Our “fur babies” were/are a part of the family.
And I sure hope that this bulldog gets to be a part of a family.

Tanya,

just exactly were they thinking when they got the dog on top of the 2 kids? that he would always be stateside during wartime and have plenty of money?!

this has NOTHING to do with loving soldiers or not, but everything to do with RESPONSIBILITY and PLANNING.

I sure hope this soldier returns home unharmed. Imagine how hard it will be for his wife to cope with a physically or mentally disabled human when she couldn’t manage a dog.

Probably the dog’s best interests are being met by the adoption situation and I understand that woman’s life is challenging…but if her husband loves the dog and she loves her husband, I think she’s has an obligation to take care of the ENTIRE family while he’s away. Yes, I’m being judgmental but that’s how we establish moral standards in society.

And, just a reminder, the wife’s not totally a victim here - she chose to marry a military man and she chose to birth 2 children.

NH, i’m glad you’re perfect and above everyone else who has real life situations that cannot and should not be judged.

I don’t know how much you know about being a soldier’s wife, but with two small kids, and no dad around, i can see where (cost, time, frustration level) it would be for the dog’s best interest to find him a loving home - without any judgement like you laid upon the woman’s shoulders.

Try dealing with two kids who don’t know when (or even if) thier dad will be home; who don’t have the money for good quality life (unless you think we really pay our soldiers enough to risk thier lives and raise a family).

Roguester - many soldier’s wives can barely make it on thier income for their own kids; many don’t know how to do all the things you need done in a day and still make sure the kids are the primary focus.

glad to know you love our soldiers so much, you blame the wives for trying to survive in truly ugly situations.

I can’t believe his wife said it would be “too hard” to take care of the dog while her husband was gone off to serve his country. Guess better for her to say it ahead of time than wait for him to leave and then she takes the dog to a shelter.

Hope the dog finds a good forever home.

I hope the poor pup gets adopted by a kind & loving family. One who will take care of it forever, no matter what the circumstances.

I hope some kind soul steps forward to foster the dog until the Marine gets home. It would be nice to see the entire family reunited.
