Woman excited to adopt dog only to find out she'd be "betrayed" when he becomes daddy's boy
What would you do if your dog is playing favorites?
Come on, whether you’d like to admit it or not, you always have a favorite pet when you have more than one.
It’s the one who gets that extra treat. The one who gets to sit on the lap. The one who owns the couch. And the one with the heavier weight.
This basically sums up Laura and Rusty’s relationship.
But the funny thing is, it was Rusty, their new German shepherd, who was calling favorites. At one point, she felt like she was the third wheel in the house because Rusty loves spending time with her husband.
A normal day means that her husband would be splayed on the couch. Either Rusty is also laying down while hugging his husband from behind, or he’s sleeping on her husband’s chest.
Things weren’t always this loving, however.
Back then, Rusty had some difficulties being adopted. He’s on the bigger side of things so he needed a family with a large space.
Not only that, but for some reason, his profile was littered with red flags like being aggressive for no reason, or being unsociable to an extent. It really seemed like Rusty will never what it was like to have a family.
Meanwhile, Laura and her family experienced their own share of heartbreak.
Cane, their original German shepherd, had just passed away. They thought nothing can fill that void of longing until one of their friends showed them Rusty’s photo.
Just like Cane, Rusty had floppy ears. He always has a big set of puppy eyes that goes so well with his big puppy body. Needless to say, the couple knew they had to adopt Rusty.
It turns out, they are the family that Rusty needed.
The couple eased him into his new life and he adjusted pretty quickly. It became clear that whatever red flags he had while in the shelter were not a hundred percent true.
All he needed was companionship and trust, and those were something he got from the family, especially from Laura’s husband.
Jurassic Slayde and their two cats.
Since then, the two became inseparable. Laura even said that the two fall asleep in each other’s arms. They even have their own bedtime routine where Laura finds herself with little space on the bed when it was her time to sleep.
She also said that Rusty is the kind of dog that’s unaware of how big he truly is.
He would climb up between them on the couch and lay himself down on her husband’s lap. Laura would protest to this and ask Rusty when it would be her turn to be his favorite. Fortunately, they still have their senior dog Jurassic Slayde and their two cats.
For, she just wants Rusty to know that things are now finally looking up for him and that they will always take care of him even if it meant putting him on a diet.
“You don’t have to worry again. You are safe. You have a home. You have a place with people that love you. You just enjoy the rest of your life.” She said in a video. “Come cuddle with me every now and then, Rusty!”
