'MAFS' Season 15: Fans defend Justin's dog Mya after she attacked Alexis' dog Newton

With Justin having to send Mya away, fans argued that the bigger dog was not at fault

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: With the honeymoon finally over, it looks like the couples of 'Married At First Sight' now have to face the music, as they move in together. While most couples are hopeful about the future, they now have to face the real world, which is often what makes or breaks the couples.

So far, for Justin and Alexis, things have been smooth sailing. The couple was the first to admit that they were falling in love and Alexis even noted that people claim marriage is hard, yet she was waiting for it to be so. But their marital bliss seems to have only lasted so long, as some very real issues began to crop up as they moved in together.

Justin and Alexis brought their dogs, Mya and Newton home, along with Justin's cat, Baloo. While they were trying to get the dog acquainted, Mya, Justin's dog, seemed to have a harder time adjusting. Mya and Newton got into a scruff when Mya snapped at Newton, resulting in a bruised eye. Alexis was immediately upset and rushed Newton to a hospital while insisting that Justin not come along. Justin later sent Mya away to be trained, seeing that he wanted his marriage to work, even though having to send his dog away was hard for him. Fans were on Justin's side entirely. 

"How Alexis upset at Justin?!?He is not the reason the dogs fought. Y’all didn’t introduce them properly to each other #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" tweeted a fan. "I have an aggressive dog like Justin’s and a more calm dog like Alexis’… chile it’s been 7 years and I’m figuring it out with consistent training and a lot of love and patience #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" added another. "Awww poor Mya!! She definitely didn’t mean to hard the other dog but they probably should’ve waited to do the introduction. Now Mya is at training camp and Justin is on an emotional roller coaster. #MAFS" said a fan. "And Alexis is blaming Mya just bc she's the bigger dog when ALEXIS let HER dog off leash when Justin had his on leash like he was supposed to. That dog getting bitten was on both of the humans, but mostly Alexis bc she let her dog off leash #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" tweeted a fan. "Justin shouldn’t have to give up his dog. Dogs just need time and need to be integrated properly. If someone has to give up their dog for the sake of a potentially failed marriage experiment they may as well divorce. #MAFSsandiego #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" said another.
