I did the right thing.... I think?

I wouldn't feel guilty, if they are making excuses not to take him then they probably don't want him too bad. He is much better off now, you did the right thing.

Why are you feeling guilty? I think you have done the best thing for the dog. A home where he is wanted and loved is far better than your old neighbours who weren't good to it anyway and now don't want him any more. Give yourself a pat on the back and feel good that you have saved this poor dog from more suffering. Well done!

Please don't feel guilty!! A dog is not a chair that you can pick up later on. They have to be very not good as you said to leave the dog behind them. The dog is now in a lovable family. Dogs memory is short and I don't think he is missing them. He already forgot them

It seems to me that those who were truly caring and loving of a pet would not just abandon him, that they don't take him and have had several opportunities to do so shows they either are not capable of caring for the dog, or that they do not really care for the dog. that the dog now has a loving home is nothing to feel guilty about to often dogs are not given the love they need deserve and crave. Yet even so they remain loyal, loving, friendly and faithful. If the dog is now with a family that will love him as much as he will them, rejoice, know you have shown kindness, and compassion. it may be that the neighbors do not return, and despite what they say it is possible they had no real intentions of getting the dog and will be relieved to know he is in a good home. And those who took the dog in will be glad to have such a loving new family member. I am sorry to hear that you feel guilty, I hope you can feel good at how you shared your heart and gave this dog a chance at a good life.

i think you did the right thing.

i think that u did the right think! i have the same situation! my neighbors have a dog but they don't take care of her and so i give food and water to her! i don't know how i can do cause they are really strange and bad people! but u urely did the right things!

don't feel bad, they obviously neglected him and u did the right thing by giving him to people who i'm sure would give him a good home!

yes you did the right thing and the dog deserve to have a home. If i was in your place i would do the same perhaps i will take care myself and be my dog. I am very soft hearted when it comes to that.

Don't feel guilty. If they really wanted the doggie, they would've taken it with them. I think that they probably didn't even want the dog if they left him for that long. I couldn't even imagine leaving my pup for a week, no less months! I think you did the right thing, and hopefully the new owners love every ounce of this pooch. I think you're a hero.

why you feeling guilty my friend!you have done a commendable job.you should be proud of yourself. your neighbours dont need the dog i guess...if they wanted they would have taken the dog along with them. a dog is a good companion...it needs love ..care like we humans need and a dog can sense that love ...and that puppy would also like to live with you now....! why dont you talk to your neighbours about it?if you wouldn't have taken care of the dog..it would have already ran away somewhere because they left it alone. if you have really hit it off well with the dog and the dog also loves you...why dont you talk to your neighbours about keeping the dog with you.hope they wont mind it as they dont seem to be bothered about their dog. cheer up now!

lol ... i did exactly the same thing once ... it was a cat tho ... my neighbours had like 3 dogs and a cat and the dogs used to bully the cat around so the cat dint stay at their home ... instead it would move around ... one winter i found it hungry and cold infront of our door ... so i gave it some food ... and after that it wont go anywhere ... it sat infront of our door and so reluctant at first but i made a cozy box for it to sleep in ... and after havin her for like two weeks i found it a new home ... some days after that my neighbors asked if i had seen their cat but i sad NO ... i dont feel bad for it ... i think people who cant take care of an animal should not even try to have one .... so u should be happy u did the rite thing ... CHEERS !!!

You deffinatly did the right thing with the dog my friend! Please try not to feel guilty! That dog will in his/her own way be ever greatful for what you did that day.. At least it has a loving home where it can have the love and attention that he/she deserves Lynn-Marie

It sounds like those people were hoping the dog would run away so they wouldn't have to take it. They are happy. The dog is happy. What's the problem?

Why feel guilty for finding a home for an obviously abandoned dog? The dog is happy now that he has a 'forever' home.

I think you should feel proud rather than feeling guilty.You have found the dog a new home,a nice feeling you are giving to the dog.You are taking so much care in looking after the dog.It's wonderful.

Please don't feel sorry or guilty. Your action saved that dog's life--it got him away from those terrible neighbours of yours. If they kept making excuses for not taking him back, that's a very clear indication that they were trying to shift the responsibility of owning the dog over to you slowly. Now thanks to you, the dog has wonderful owners and a loving home like you said. The real victim here has been rescued. Besides, if your neighbours are so irresponsible, they do not deserve to care for a dog in the first place. So please, please do not feel guilty. What you did was truly truly the right thing.

i feel u shouldnt feel guilty as wat u did was ur duty

If they loved the dog they would have taken him as one if the very first things not the last. Keep him he is better off.

Feelin guilty ? For what ? These people should have taken their dog in the first place. Secondly they have had more than sufficent time to either Come get the dog or make arrangements on their own to find it a home. You did a great thing for that animal. And have absolutely no reason to feel guilty.

well if u can look after it ur self then do it coz i ve a soft spots for dogs and i love them it would be very nice of u to take care of it though its not urs and the next time they come u say tat the dog is urs which breed is it anyway
