aita for feeling upset that the dog I took in went back to her home? I had found a stray dog awhile ago and took her in. She had no chip and for awhile I saw no ads/got no responses to my posts. Eventually I found her owners because a friend recognized---

Her on a missing poster while out of town. The dog I took in was about an hour away from her real home. I got in contact and learned that she had broken off of her leash in the vet's parking lot the day they went to vaccinate and chip her. Once we verified that she was their dog, I drove her over and returned her to her home. I'm happy she's reunited but I feel horrible because I'm sad that she's with them now. I hold no hostility or anything towards her family, but I feel sad that she's gone-

It’s not wrong to be sad, you’re allowed to miss her, you built a relationship with her and you did the right thing and returned her even if it was hard, you’re allowed to grieve the short time you had with her, I recommend checking out your shelter and getting another dog that’s just yours

yeah its wrong that youre upset 😭 if youre this sad over a dog you just met and barely took care of imagine how the dogs actual owners felt when she ran away. being sad that shes safe and happy with the people who have been taking care of her is selfish just get your own dog

And when I asked my friends for support they said that I should be happy she's home. Which I am, I am so happy for both her and her humans. But is it wrong that I feel sad she's gone?

I'm not sad that she's safe. I said pretty clearly that I'm very happy she's back home. I just kinda miss her. I'm asking if it's wrong to miss her, not that I'm sad she's been reunited with her family. Two very different things.

yes you are wrong to miss her because however you feel right now her family felt 10000% worse
