I have a lovely one year old dog who has had recently an ear infection and staph from an allergy and he's lost about 4 pounds.
I confided in someone who I thought was a friendly neighbor about the dog's issues (she has a dog and her and my dog like to play together). She petted him and said" oh what a poor dog , I feel so bad for him."
She messaged me yesterday and said could she have my home address so she could ship me some specialty foods as a gift , I gave her my address.
later asked me for medical information so she could order it from petsmart (which I didn't give her as I was busy with work at the time).$/.
Less than 4 hours later I had 2 Animal protection service officers at my door stating they had gotten an animal abuse report about my dog and that he was skin and bones/emaciated... which he was not, after seeing his water bowl/dog food full and the expensive brand I used of food .
She mentioned he was a bit skinny, but not dangerously and that I looked to be a good owner.
After I was literally in my head, even today. I am just so upset, because 1) I thought I was finally making a friend and 2) My day was going swimmingly before this.
I am 99% sure the person I thought was a friend did this, maybe she had good intentions, but that's not the way to go about doing this.
how do I broach her on the topic?
