For some people, pets are just pets.

For many others, however, they are more like our closest family. That means we are there for them when they need us, and we could never let them suffer and still give them a good night’s sleep.

This man had to miss his brother’s wedding after his dog had a serious accident, but not everyone agrees he made the right decision.

Check out the details and then give your opinion!

I (24 M) have a brother (27 M) who got married last week.

Unfortunately I had to cancel at short notice because my dog ​​ran into the street and was hit by a bicycle.

He had to take care of his injured dog.

He is fine now, but at the time I had to rush him to the vet and he was in very bad condition.

The doctor told me that he would need to be cared for over the next week.

This happened three days before the wedding, where no pets were allowed.

Therefore, he had to cancel his brother’s wedding and missed it.

My brother made it very clear that no pets were allowed at this event and I even explained the situation to him, but he was undeterred.

So I told him I had to cancel.

And that I would not participate because I had to take care of my dog.

Now the whole family is dismayed by his decision.

A few days have passed and my family is now mad at me for not showing up and says I should have just hired a dog sitter.

But I didn’t want to entrust that much responsibility to a stranger or someone I know, because my dog ​​is one of the few things that helped me get through Covid.

So, AITA, because I missed my brother’s wedding to look after my dog?

Let’s find out what other people had to say.

This user says he dropped the ball.

This one thinks he didn’t even try.

Yes, there are clearly some options available.

That may be harsh, but I think he deserves it.

People think he’s an idiot.

Wrong priorities, man.

I would have been angry too.
