Video: ‘Foster Fail' Owners Save Puppy's Life With Adoption After Losing Previous Dog
The internet is touched by the video of 'foster fail' owners sharing how they saved a puppy's life with adoption after losing their previous dog. While one can never replace a lost pet, an Instagram user showcased how fostering can make a huge difference. However, giving a temporary home to a pup in need can sometimes take a heartwarming turn. The same happened with these pet parents who opened their doors after losing their dog and ended up adopting their foster while bringing him back to health. Owners adopt foster dog they brought home after losing previous dog in video An Instagram user named Ben Carpenter, a 'foster fail,' touched hearts with a video about how his lost dog led to a puppy's adoption. The fitness trainer shared that he and his wife's beloved pup, Jellie, 'vanished' when they were in Europe for the London Marathon. The couple 'rushed home immediately.' They 'searched for miles, put up hundreds of flyers, went out at night with thermal vision goggles and even hired a sniffer dog.' Carpenter noted that while they were 'heartbroken' after losing Jellie, the 'additionally hard' part was 'searching through all the other dogs that needed a home.' This is when the wife decided to sign back up as a temporary foster for pups who need adopting. Carpenter continued to share that they housed their first new dog, Hubert, last week. The 'neglected' 1-year-old puppy had a huge razor burn on his side and was also covered in ticks. Hubert was not eating and was vomiting a lot. Carpenter said the little guy was 'so weak that he could barely get up just a couple of stairs.' However, Hubert turned into a 'totally different dog' after some days of 'care, lots of love and hand feeding him soft foods.' Carpenter continued that the pup is now 'happier, healthier, more energetic and the most loving little thing.' The fitness trainer further shared that the couple became 'foster fails' because and decided to adopt Hubert full time as he pulled on their 'heartstrings.' Carpenter also noted that they 'don't want to replace Jellie.' He continued, 'There will always be a hole in our heart where she lived.' However, they adopted Hubert as the puppy 'desperately needed' their help. The post Video: 'Foster Fail' Owners Save Puppy's Life With Adoption After Losing Previous Dog appeared first on DogTime.

Couple Decides to Get a Puppy, but Husband Wants to Back Out Due to Life-Changing Discovery
A couple decided to adopt a puppy after struggling to have a baby However, the wife found out she was pregnant shortly after they were approved to adopt a puppy Now, the husband isn't sure he wants to go through with the adoptionA man says he is "denying his wife a puppy" after learning she's pregnant. In a post published on Reddit, the 31-year-old man explains that he and his wife decided to start a family a year ago, but suffered a miscarriage shortly after. That's when they decided to put themselves on a waiting list to adopt a dog. A few months later, they found out they were pregnant again, right after learning they had been selected to get their puppy. The puppy will be ready to take home around August — two months before their baby's due date. "I told my wife that I wasn't comfortable with the idea of training a puppy at the same time we're having a baby," the man writes. "We both have busy jobs and active social lives, and I just don't see how we can manage raising a dog while also adjusting to parenthood." "Don't get me wrong, I still want to adopt a dog — but I'd prefer to wait a few months or even years until we've settled into life with our baby," he adds. But his wife of three years dismissed those concerns, moving forward with steps to adopt the dog.

When friends and family ask how they plan to juggle both, his wife often says she would "choose a puppy over a baby." "The first time, I laughed it off as a joke. But when she said it again in front of my family, I reacted angrily. I found it incredibly disrespectful to our unborn child," he writes. "On the way home, I told my wife that I thought she was being very selfish and that, at this point, I no longer want to adopt a dog — at least not until after the birth of our child," he adds. "This has since led to quite a bit of arguing and tears." Now, the man wants to know if he is in the wrong for denying his wife the puppy. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Reddit users seem squarely on the man's side, with one writing, "Puppy trainer here: I'd never recommend getting a puppy when a newborn baby is imminent. A puppy IS a newborn, and the fatigue and mental drain that comes with them is very real." Adds another commenter: "I second this as a vet tech student AND twin puppy mama. We initially got just one but I wanted our pup to have a buddy to grow up with so we brought him home one of his litter mates. Best and worst decision ever; it's amazing that he has a buddy, but so so exhausting trying to train both puppies, fight against the other puppy to regain attention, etc. I don't have kids, but adding essentially a toddler to your family while you're expecting a newborn just isn't a great idea."
