Imagine coming home from a normal day and finding your ex-boyfriend sitting on your couch, uninvited, and your dog is missing. Ashley Farley can, because she lived through it.
Ashley and Her Best Friend
Ashley Farley had the perfect life before everything collapsed around her. She was 25-years-old, she was finally making a singing career happen for her, and she was in a very healthy relationship.
Bumps in the Road
Ashley loved everything about her boyfriend. They had only been dating for three months but she was content, he was everything Ashley wanted in a relationship. That is, until he started to act strangely…
Broken In
Ashley came home from work one day to find that her boyfriend had broken into her house. This was really strange to Ashley since he was usually so communicative. To add to her anxiety, she couldn’t see her puppy anywhere…
You Did What???
Ashley’s boyfriend sat uncomfortably when she asked him about her dog. He tried to redirect the conversation, but he eventually told her that he had sold her puppy on craigslist, and there was no way for her to get the dog back…
Immediate Devastation
Ashley collapsed to the ground, the one thing that she truly loved in her life had been taken from her by someone she trusted most. Ashley screamed at her boyfriend, she broke up with him. She threatened to call the police if he didn’t get out of her house.
Such an Important Pup
Ashley adopted her puppy several months before she met her (now ex) boyfriend. Her depression had gotten so bad that she needed something to hold onto. Her puppy, named Elle, was exactly that for her…
An Awful Dude
Ashley was filled with hatred after her ex-boyfriend betrayed her trust. She couldn’t understand why he would do this to her after their relationship had been so positive for so long.
How Could He?
These terrible actions were so sudden and unexpected that Ashley had no idea what to do. She needed to get her dog back, and she really wanted to get some revenge…
We’ve Hit a Wall
Ashley had no idea where to start to get her dog back. The post was down from Craigslist, and there was no real way to contact the person who bought Elle. This crushed Ashley and she became too depressed to even start.
The Video Surfaces
After not speaking for an entire day, Ashley’s ex-boyfriend randomly texted her a video of Elle. Elle was playing and running in a yard, she looked very happy, and this confused Ashley…
Salt in the Wound
Ashley was sobbing when she saw the video. Her ex texted her once more, saying: “Elle is safe and sound in her new home, and you’ll never see her again.”
Memory Too Painful
Losing Elle felt like a loved one had died. Ashley spent most of her time sobbing around the apartment, refusing to put away Elle’s toys. She felt terrible until she came up with an unexpected idea…
Worried for Elle’s Health
Ashley was terrified for Elle because before her ex sold her, she was taking an antibiotic to fight an ear infection. Obviously, the new owners didn’t know this.
Taking a Huge Step
Ashley went outside of her comfort zone and contacted a local news crew. She needed to get her word out there as fast as possible, hoping the people who bought Elle would see the message.
Torn Apart
On camera, Ashley spoke about how emotionally destroyed she became after Elle was stolen from her. Miraculously, this message immediately worked.
Kind Folks
A couple was watching Ashley’s message as it aired, they instantly realized that they were the ones that purchased Elle. They were furious that someone would do that to Ashley, even though they loved their new dog…
So Kind
The couple reached out to Ashley right after her message ended. They got in contact and went to bring Elle back to her.
Back in Business
The couple refused to accept Ashley’s reward money, they said their goodbyes to Elle and took off. Turns out, Ashley’s ex-boyfriend fled to Florida during the few days of searching. Finally, Ashley had the opportunity to rebuild her happiness…
A Similar Situation
Laura Bonfim went through a similar experience when her ex-boyfriend sold her puppy on a different website. Buckle up, this one gets emotional…
Two Peas in a Pod
Laura adopted Tina when she was just a puppy, since then, they were completely inseparable. Unfortunately, Laura and her ex-boyfriend split the cost of the dog together, which made her ownership a little strange…
Time and a Half
Laura broke up with her ex-boyfriend a year before this incident. They were splitting their time with Tina, but Laura’s ex was not satisfied with the agreement they had…
Business as Usual
On an average Sunday, Laura went to drop off Tina at her ex’s house, like they always do. Laura’s ex-boyfriend acted normally when she got there, but he secretly had an evil plan…
Foreshadowing
Laura’s ex asked her if she would be okay with him selling Tina. Taking it as a joke, Laura said “yeah sure” and laughed it off.
Hard Work Pays Off
Laura and her mother were solely providing for Tina, Laura’s ex did not contribute anything to her livelihood whatsoever.
When Laura Came Back…
When Laura came to get Tina back, she was shocked to find that Tina was not at her ex’s house. He stated that he sold her online for $700, and there was nothing Laura could do about it.
Money Talks
When Laura asked him why he would do such a thing, he said that he was very short on cash and he was entitled to sell the dog if he wanted to, since he helped pay for her…
No Help Available
Laura contacted the police to see if they could locate Tina for her, unfortunately, nothing illegal happened during Tina’s purchase, and there was nothing that they could do.
Their Explanation
The police explained that “no criminal activity happened, so we legally cannot pursue your case.” Unfortunately, things went even farther downhill after that…
A Change of Heart
Laura’s ex-boyfriend contacted her and apologized, he felt awful for what he did. They both got together to look for the person who purchased Tina, but she was unavailable…
Continual Avoidance
The person who purchased Tina’s phone was off, and there was no other way to contact her, that they could see…
Posting About It
Laura made a Facebook post about Tina, overnight the post went viral. The post got 900 shares and counting, yet, nobody contacted Laura about her pup…
Saying a Prayer
Tina was brought into Laura’s family to help combat her and her brother’s depression, just like Elle was to Ashley. They were completely devastated, and Tina never returned.
