My dog ran away A.K.A. My stepdad's an idiot *Thread needs locked*

So my stepdad decides today that he wants to take a walk. I don't care, my mom doesn't care, so my stepdad did it. Now my stepdad thinks it's a good idea to let THE DOG follow him. The dog that my mom and I love.

So he walks down to the riverbottoms, about twenty minutes away (we live in a rural area), and the dog goes ahead of him. My stepdad, not expecting this, chases the dog, only making the dog go further.

Anyway, he lost the dog. In a ****ing grass filled area. I'm pissed beyond comprehension and understandability at him. But he comes home.Set scene: The stepdad of mine is leaning back in his ****ing recliner, watching the ****ing sci-fi channel without a ****ing care. I want so bad to punch him. He ****ing did this. He should be trying to ****ing fix it. He said we'll go tomorrow to look for him.

The dog is a yorkie, do you guys think he can make it tonight? You don't think he'll try to find his way home, do you? I mean, my stepdad and the dog walked from the house to the riverbottoms. Will the dog remember how to get home? Because he's intelligent for a yorkie, I believe. Should I stand up to my stepdad and tell him to find the dog, no matter what? My mom and I loved that dog. If you can't help me with those questions, can you please try to quell my thoughts?

Thanks in advance for help,
GHl77

UPDATE:

Sorry it took so long. I was suspended and it lasted a little longer than expected. Yeah, we didn't find him. We went to the pound and got two new dogs though They're good dogs, but it's not quite the same. Anyway, I want to say thanks to all of those who truly felt sympathy for me and tried to keep posted on this.

At the same time, my stepdad and I came to an understanding. He said it was a mistake and that he was sorry, and my anger would have melted away soon anyway.

Thanks everyone for the help, support, and suggestions. They helped out a little, sort of.

Sorry about losing your dog man :(

but don't be too hard on your stepdad, people make mistakes. Although your right, he should probably be looking for the dog and not watching TV.

Go walk around in the same area your stepdad took the dog and call his name for a bit.

I also give you permission to...

...your stepdad.

I'd tell him to find it. HE is the one that lost it and you 2 love it a lot. It is his fault so he much take the initiative to look for it. As for your dog being alone out there, it depends on the wilderness around you and the predators.

If it were my dog I'd be out there no matter what time it was with the brightest flashlight I could find.

Your stepdad seems arrogant and annoying. Sorry about that. Don't let it get to you.

If you really like the dog go look for him. But he probably will survive the night. Whats a yorkie? Also about your step-dad he probably doesn't care about the dog.

go out and call for him, depending on where you live I dont know if a yorkie outside at night will end well. I hope you find him mate, keep ups posted

Is it tall grass? IF so the Pokemon danger is always there...No but seriously the classic putting up signs always helps..and just getting out there and looking around the area he was lost at is useful. jks22112

Sure if that were a baby he'd go looking for it. ****.

If your going out bring a flashlight, cell phone, food for the dog, a bone for the dog, and a leash.

Tell him to go after him until he has no option, if he beats you, call the cops and get his ass arrested.

Is your mom doing nothing?

If its in an area it knows well it can probably come home if it wants too. Make sure your around for if it does

Why are you just posting, go look for the stupid dog.

it should be able to make it through the night just fine. I suggest you leave an outside light on so it has some hope of finding its way home though. It might sound stupid but it has worked for me before with an old cat of mine.

If you don't care enough to go out at night, why make him do it.

Why would you let your step dad take your dog for a walk without a leash? Especially a dog like a Yorkie.

In any case, yes, the dog should be able to find its way home.

If you're so upset, why don't you go look for the dog yourself? :\

Its the stepdads house he can do what he wants, with the pets he allows to live there. :P

Does it have one of those tracking chip thingys? Or did it have a name tag?

You dont have much control over your own dog if it ran into the woods and never came back. My friends family has two dogs and would never let that happen. Anyway, if the dog likes you enough, he'll come back, if he doesn't maybe he wont. Who knows. Still, whenever you do get him back, you need to get control of it. Let it know what it can and cannot do. Because in the end, it is sort of everyone's fault it ran like that.

True, your step dad should be out looking for the dog, but dont blame it all on him. If you guys love the dog so much, why aren't you out there instead of posting on GS? You ALL should be out looking for the dog. Your step dad because apparently, he let it out. You and your mom because it's your dog.

My dog use to run away all the time if I left the gate open he always came back when he was hungry though..

No, if you know the dog is not trained and you still remove teh leash, its your fault.

that doesn't sound right.. he takes the dog on a walk with no leash, then doesn't seem to care when it runs off?

how has he acted towards the dog before?

Is there any place for the dog to get hit by a car pretty easily near by? Cuz other than that (which is how my dog died) I wouldn't be too concerned. Dogs are tough, smart creatures. They can usually easily make it a couple days by themselves even if they are used to the luxury of home life. It's understandable to be mad at your stepdad, but yelling at him isn't going to change the fact that the dog you love is still out there somewhere. Keep your head up. Chances are he's ok. If u don't find him by tomorrow start putting up posters of your dog. You can also go to your local paper and ask them to put a picture of him/her in there so other people can help you find it. Don't give up....trust me, i know how worried and sick feeling you probably are right now.

I've been talking to GHlegend on MSN. His account has been suspended for a day and he can't reply. He did want me to say that he is 14 and can't drive, so going into the woods is out of the question. He also wanted me to say that he thanks you for helping him out.:)

Well he did say he lives in a rural area. I mean what danger could he get in? :P

Its just a dog I wouldn't go out of my way to find it either. You should not stand up to your stepdad and the dog will probably die. I also want to say blog it because this isn't forum worthy.jeremiah06

How was your stepdad's relationship with this dog...? Reminds me of the unwitting mafia guy that get's in the limo with the boss and ends up swimming with the fishes. raven_squad

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"][QUOTE="Duckman5"] Your entire post disgusts me. So you want this kid to just look the other way? That's horrible advice and I'd be angry too.
