I don't think you overreacted at all - I would be furious too! Was he kept in a crate the whole time? That would be pure torture!
And I don't think anyone was saying that he shouldn't have gone out at all - but maybe he could have saved the drinking bender for another night when he wasn't looking after the dog? How do people get so drunk that they can't make it home? Do they forget where they live? Do they forget how to call a cab? I have little respect for people who drink themselves into oblivion...
AND, it doesn't matter if people want to watch your dog or not - if someone SAYS that they will watch it and they LOVE and RESPECT ME, then I expect them to take great care with something that they know is important to me. If they don't want to watch your dog - they should flat out say so. |
