so, with those 2 choices, knowing my dog, I KNOW he would rather see me 2 hours a day and be happy, rather than to be given to a stranger where he would live out the rest of his life miserably. |
When my niece and her husband found out they were going to have a baby, they went, before the baby was born and learned how to integrate the baby with their furbabies. It has worked quite well for them and they are glad that they did it. Knowing that your little guy has a tendency to be aggressive, I am surprised that you didn't find out.
I am not sure why you feel he would be happy with only 2 hours of your time, when a loving family would not make his life miserable but quite happy. I cannot imagine locking my baby in a garage for 22 hours a day. That is called isolation, plain and simple. That would be a miserable and cruel existance for any animal.
I too was adopted. the greatest expression of unconditional love is letting go.
When I am gone for longer than a few hours, I either take my little girl to my sister or she comes over here to spend a few hours with her so she isn't alone much, so only having 2 hours a day.....I am sure that you will do the right thing and find a good loving home for your little guy.
