To rehome or not is the decission of the owner. Im not sure that I would be able to give one of my babies up,havent been put in that situation. I have had someone be mean to my dogs,they are not allowed back in my house and cost me a very old friendship with his wife. I had a family member harm one of my dogs when I was very young and told them that they were NOT to ever touch my dog for any reason.
This guy broke a trust with his wife and no matter what she does with the dog,she will NEVER see him the same way or trust him to touch anything that belongs to her be it herself,dog or child. He did alot of damage to his entire relationship with his wife. Im not sure what I would do personally,but I think that I would consider me and the dog moving back to the states.

I really hope that this little one will be ok. I hope that this lady is able to make the right decision for herself and the dog. The guy will at some time reap what he has sewn.

If my spouse did something like that, I would be afraid to leave the pup alone with him and probably re-home him. He definitely broke a trust that would take sometime to rebuild. If he is truly sorry he will work to rebuild that trust. Only his actions will determined if he is worthy of a second chance. Unfortunately giving him a second chance will risk putting the life of that little pup in danger.

That poor baby... I feel so bad for the little pup... its a shame that someone would do this to a defenseless pup... could you tell us how the vet visit go? Did you talk to your friend?

That just makes me sick ! years ago I raised poms....One that size may have health problems anyway. If he is that mean now there is no telling what the poor dog will have to endure if it stays in the situation. She needs to re home it. I would not keep a pup that was going to be mis treated. I feel sorry for her but more for the pup. Don't mean to sound mean but the pup should not be there. It can not help itself but she can help it. Please talk to her & tell her the best thing for the pup if she cares for it is to give it up......Sorry but i can not help how I feel

I hope Kimchi is feeling better and I want to thank you for looking out for the puppy and encouraging her to take it to the vet. I hope your talk goes well and wish the best to you, your friend and the dogs.

Yes, the puppy did suffer and that is the sad part. What I meant in my original post was that she (the friend or wife) may not have known what her husband was going to do. If she had known then it would be a totally different story and different situation. We do not know the whole story on where the friend's whereabouts when the incident happened so we cannot say that she was at fault. People lose their tempers, and as I stated earlier, that does not make it okay for them to take it out on anything or anyone.

It is not the wife's fault that it happened but if it happened again it would be because she now knows her husband cant control his temper with a small animal and its her job to keep the puppy safe.

So she took her fur baby to the vet, and she is fine, from what they can tell. they gave her some seizure pills to take if their is another seizure, and to take her back ASAP!

She says her husband is going to stay out of puppy training from now on, and I dont really think that is the answer either.

As far as rehoming the pup, I dont think that is an option in her mind. I would offer to take her for a bit, but overseas we are only authorized 2 pets and we have our two. Rehoming is also not so good here in Korea, mostly the pups bounce home to home because military personal usually does not want to pay the money to ship them back home. There is a big problem with people letting their pets "go" here in Korea, you see lots of dogs roaming the streets.
What I really hope happens is that he takes what happened seriously and realizes you cant treat a puppy or anything in this way. Its not right, and its not OK. I think that enough people have found out what has happened to make him thoroughly embarrassed as well. Im really hoping that things turn around for them!!
Here are some pics of my two pups and her pups. Hers is not that well socialized I dont know if its because of what goes on at home. She told me Her husband also hovers over her, until she pottys which causes anxiety, she said sometimes her pup holds her pee/poop all day when he is home =/ We talked about that as well. But you can see in the body language with her and my pups she is uncomfortable, and in the second pic, its cute, but she terrorizes them a bit. lol

Very cute pups!

Your babies are precious and so it's your friend's poor sweet baby. She is lucky to have a friend like you for sure...this makes me so sad for her and her pup!

Very cute babies!! I have a blonde pom that is from a family member and she is the same way with other dogs. She thinks that she is the only dog in the house and that just isnt the case around here.

Update.....
 

so unfortunately the situation has escalated. Very very sad. My friend 'V' and her husband 'J' had been fighting. V left the house for some breathing room and when she came back her puppy was limping and was whimpering when her back leg was touched. Her husband says that ellie the pup had tripped over a toy when she was running.

the next day she took ellie to the vet. her femur was fractured in her back leg, she had to have emergency surgery getting a metal plate, several screws, staples, a cast and surgery in a few weeks again. V confronted her husband about this and he said "Im not ready to tell you what really happened yet" implying it was something he had done.

As of now V wants to divorce J but they are in a sticky situation. they owe the vet about 2 thousand dollars right now, the pup is not fully vaccinated, needs another surgery, she cannot not afford the plane ticket from korea to cali right now, the dog cannot be removed from the country for another 2 months because of quarantine laws, she is "stuck".

Im so sad for V and especially ellie. how can you do that to a puppy?? I can't understand. I encouraged her to talk to his chain of command in the military, tell them what happened, they will FORCE him to get help for anger, and they will FORCE him to pay for the vet bills, and especially they can provide protection if needed for her and her puppy.

This type of behavior is scary, and he has serious issues. I hope that she realizes this. Its unacceptable and the military WILL and CAN keep him in line. I hope she does the right thing and goes to them.

That's very sad to hear a grown hurt a tiny puppy my sister also has a 1.5 pom and I know how easy they can be hurt hopefully your friend can talk to someone an get help go not just the pup but her husband and her

That is the sickest situation I have read about in a long time. I believe she knew, before she brought a puppy into their home, that it was not a proper or safe environment. If I knew who that was, I would report them to the military authorities. That's a disgrace.

I honestly dont think she did. They have been married for a year and these last 4 months are the first of their marriage they have spent together. he was away for several months in basic, then AIT and then moved to Korea, where later she was able to join him. From what I have heard he has changed, and that is what scares her the most. This is the first 4 months they have ever even lived together, so its a new situation for her.

But again, I really hope her husband gets the help, and I hope the puppy and her are removed from this situation. =(
