Reply to comment by ryantrw5 in Never seen my dog from this angle before… diet starts today. by iamtheliquor__

Ah yeah I think everyone knows reddit's a magnet for the worst kinds of people thanks to the anonimity... But I was just trying to cheer OP up.

...and it's painfully clear u/H0tlips76 should've just been ignored. Maybe they're... decent... in person, but in this instance, thinking they know better than OP and actively trying to make them feel bad is not a good look, to say the least. That's certainly all they wanted to achieve.

And unfortunately, OP got put in the situation in which they impulsively started explaining themselves to someone who never cared in the first place... because of course it's a concern they have, they noticed it in time and can work from here. It's in the friggin title lmao.

But implying they somehow deliberately caused the dog harm, that's as useless (maybe even counterproductive) as it is hurtful - in any instance, no doubt. And they probably knew it.

It's just so infuriating... I'm sad they were made to waste their precious time - time that could've been spent with their gorgeous doggy </3

Very well said! 👏👏👏 Exactly what I was thinking… if criticism isn’t constructive and offering a solution then it’s just negativity and not doing anyone any good. 💯

Dogs can gain weight because of medication they need and what not. Also I mean what if a dog gets fat because you love them so much you can’t stop giving them treats even though like you know it’s bad.

Situations are nuanced and without details it’s impossible to know sometimes

Oh yeah, that's why I didn't speak on the story at all, there's no need to, nor is it my place to make suppositions at all, rather on how that user decided they were omniscient and that it somehow justified their shitty behaviour, lmao.
