In a post on Reddit, she writes that she called the cops on her roommate
Now, the roommate is upset, and the woman wonders if she overreactedA woman says her roommate rehomed her emotional support dog while she was away, so she called the police.
In a since-deleted post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 22-year-old writes, "I have a dog named Beans who is literally my emotional support animal and the love of my life."
"I live with two roommates, one of whom (let's call her 'Jade,' 24F) has always had a weird attitude toward Beans making little comments like 'he's too spoiled' or 'he acts like he owns the place,'" she adds.
The poster recently took a two-day trip to visit her family and "left Beans at home because Jade offered to feed him and take him out."
"I even left written instructions, labeled everything, and texted her reminders. She said 'Don't worry, I got it,'" she writes.
But when she got back, Beans was gone.
"Jade told me she 'rehomed' him because she 'couldn't stand his barking,'" she writes, adding, "SHE GAVE MY DOG AWAY WITHOUT ASKING ME. To someone she met on Facebook Marketplace. No papers. No ID. NOTHING."
The poster "absolutely lost it" when she found out, screaming at her roommate and crying "for hours" before ultimately calling the police and filing a theft report.
"Now her parents are blowing up my phone saying I'm 'ruining her life over a dog' and 'should've just talked it out,'" she writes.
Thankfully, the poster did get her dog back, but her roommate continues to tell her she overreacted and should have handled the situation privately.

Commenters, however, disagree, saying the poster handled the situation exactly as they would.
"If you put her bed and all her furniture on FB marketplace I think she would react the same way," writes one commenter. "Beans (love that name btw) is a living and feeling creature. She put him in a stressful situation for no reason. This is psychopathic behavior, I'm so glad law enforcement was called."
The commenter noted that there are "consequences" to actions, and her "family enabling her is disturbing and very telling as to why she might be like this."
