He's lucky I still love him after this. We had movers here that were bringing in our boxes so we had to lock him in my bedroom. This door was original to the house. I had planned to strip the paint off of the wood of the door and frame. Not so much anymore.
Edit: just to be clear this dog isn't mine. Mine is about 20 pounds and is totally crate trained.
Some of y'all really are assholes for no reason and nosey AF. My living situation is none of your business so stop asking.
The dog is 15 years old and belongs to my mother.
He's terrified of crates and has been since he was a puppy. He had one for years and refused to ever go inside of it. The only crate he was ever willing to go inside of was my old dogs crate (75lb doberman mix) while she was inside of it.
I don't actually blame him for ruining my door, that and me calling him a monster was the fucking joke.
He still spends half the day laying in my bed and yes I am working on training him. My mom seems convinced that because of his age there's no point in 'trying to change who he is' as she put it.
There's no lead in the paint. Flippers painted every bit of original wood about 10 years ago with this bright white latex paint. We do have lead in our floors and walls but not the doors, doorframes or window frames. Also I will be repairing this door, it's not getting thrown out over what I would call minor damage.
The dog has seen the vet since this incident and has been confirmed to be fine. We were more worried about possible impaction than actual lead since this is latex paint.
The moment I opened this door he bolted out into the neighborhood and chased several wild/feral animals for damn near a half hour. I managed to catch him and get him back in the house. The photo of him was taken right after he was back inside safe and sound. He's a good dog 98% of the time, he just doesn't like having barriers between him and people who could be giving him love.
