Internet split after man's 'PLUS ONE' throws sister's wedding into chaos
A Reddit user's revelation that they wanted to bring their dog to a wedding has sparked debate among netizens. The scenario was posted by Reddit user u/tahwraoyw-yawaworht in the popular Reddit group 'Am I The A**hole?' where it received more than 4K upvotes and 1000 comments.
In the Reddit post titled "AITA for not staying at the same resort as my family for my sisters wedding so I can bring my dog?" the Original Poster (OP) started off by saying, "My Sister is having her destination wedding at an international resort that does not allow dogs. My partner and I want to bring our 10 lb Maltipoo to a neighboring resort that does allow dogs (like literally a mile away) so that we can be at the wedding. The dog will be at the resort with a dog sitter (service that is provided by the resort that we will be staying) while we are at the wedding."

'My mother is insisting that we leave the dog'
OP continued, "However my mother is insisting that we leave the dog somewhere/with someone back at home and that we stay at the same resort so that the family can be all together throughout the stay (my sister's resort will only allow us a single day pass for the day of the ceremony if we are not guests of the resort.). Honestly, we have been to a family wedding internationally before on a beach island and spent most of our time individually (with our SOs), spending any family time mostly on just the day of the wedding and the occasional dinner."

'Really confused as to why you want to bring your dog'
The internet seemed divided, with more than 1000 people leaving comments on the post. One user commented, "NTA. But I'm really confused as to why you want to bring your dog...to a wedding...that you have to fly to. Weird to me, but you do you." A second quipped, "Probably the dog mom type that thinks her dog is equivalent to having a human infant," while another countered, saying, "Maybe it’s equivalent to the cost of boarding. Not every pet owner is comfortable with boarding for there a lot of stories of neglect."
'Is she even sure her dog CAN come?'
A fourth wrote, "A lot of countries don’t allow pets through customs without an extensive physical prior to entry and many require a quarantine. Is she even sure her dog CAN come?" while another said, "It may be less expensive to bring the dog. They may not have reliable pet sitters. The dog may have separation anxiety. Why does it matter? They will be less than a few minutes away. If I could take my dog with me I would. I trust nobody to care for her as I would. She is a member of my family."
