1. Permissions? After you gave it away? Hmm…Let’s just read what happened.

2. OP had to put his dog, Willy, up for adoption because his stepson was allergic to dogs.

3. OP found a really nice family that agreed to adopt Willy and also allowed OP to get updates on the dog.

4. There came an unavoidable gap and OP couldn’t get many updates on the dog during it.

5. When he finally managed to get on the phone with WIlly’s new family, he realized they had renamed him. He was now named Rudy.

6. This made OP really mad.

7. I am not so sure about the whole “permission” thing, to be very fair.

8. The two parties erupted in a heated fight over the whole name drama.

9. It seems like OP has a problem with everyone.

10. “my dog”? Did I read that right?

Here’s what the internet had to say:

11. Brother, you had no claim on that dog the day you gave it away for adoption.

12. Owing to the fight, you may now never get any update on “their” dog.

13. I swear I would’ve called the police right away.

14. If the dog is responding normally to the name Rudy, I don’t think anyone should have a problem with that.

15. He took the shock as if it was still his dog and the new family stole it.

16. Word.
