A woman recently posted a story on Reddit’s “Am I the A-hole?” She had just won $50,000 in a lottery. She wrote, “Before I won, my boyfriend and I would always joke about how, if I ever hit it big, I’d ‘split it three ways’ between me, him, and his dog, Baxter. Baxter is a golden retriever, and I love him, but I always thought it was just a joke.” But then she won the money and found out her boyfriend was “dead serious” about Baxter getting a share of the money. He insisted that Baxter deserves $10k in a “dog trust fund’ for future vet bills, toys, and “whatever he needs.” She refused, although she did treat Baxter with a “fancy dog bed and some expensive treats.” But the boyfriend said “that doesn’t count because it wasn’t part of the ‘official’ $10k I supposedly promised.” He mentioned “going to a lawyer to set up the dog trust fund to ‘make it official.'” So, she asked others if they really thought she was in the wrong. The answer, of course, was a resounding no. The woman also said she dumped the boyfriend.
* So she’s a winner, twice.
* This might have turned out different if Baxter was a pit bull.
* Or if Baxter had picked the numbers.
* The sad part of this story is, the dog is stuck with that loser.
* $10,000 to a dog, that’s ridiculous. Now if they had a cat…
