This happened almost 30 years ago now and I am still SO proud of my pupper!!!
Context: I used to run a Dalmatian Rescue organization. I took in a dog who was about 3 years old. He had been a bait dog in a pitbull fighting ring in Alabama. I had him transported to Florida, named him Rocky and mended his physical wounds and gave him the love and respect he needed and deserved. At the time, I was living with a guy–total a&&hole to both me and Rocky. He made no bones about seriously disliking Rocky.
And Rocky knew my bf didn’t like him. Soooooooo……
Rocky peed on literally EVERYTHING that the bf touched. Dirty piles of HIS clothes? Peed on. His office chair? Peed on. His computer that smelled like him? Peed on. The side of the couch my bf would sit on? Rocky would climb up on the couch and pee on that side of the couch. He really didn’t like my bf. (At the end, neither did I but that’s another post for another subreddit.)
One night, the bf and I were watching TV. He was drunk (as usual) and shoveling hands-full of popcorn into his gaping maw. Some pieces were falling out of his maw and back into the bowl. I was not eating the popcorn. He had his feet kicked up on the coffee table and his Birkenstocks were on the floor. Rocky walked over to me and got some scritches and loving. When we were done, he walked right past me, squatted over the bf’s Birkenstocks and pooped right on them. It was awesome, nice and runny and got into all the nooks and crannies of his sandals.
In the end, I got rid of the bf and kept the dog. If Rocky didn’t like a guy, there was no second date.
Good Boy, Rocky! I love you and miss you so much. See you at the Rainbow Bridge in a few years.

Rocked by Rocky…
In Rocky we trust
That Birkenstock revenge was a masterstroke. Like a pup-ular uprising
Rocky’s got more grit in his little paw than that deadbeat ex ever had in his whole body
Rocky dropped a Bullwinkle in the Birkenstocks
I currently have a Border Collie which rarely misbehaves but one day he decided he didn’t like our couch and destroyed one of the arms, fluff all over the front room.
My partner gets home and proceeds to tell him off and clean up the mess he’s left so after a bit he goes upstairs with my partner thinking he’s either sulking or thinking about what he’s done.
She goes upstairs later after sorting the front room out and to see if he’s calmed down only to discover he’s dropped a dog log almost perfectly in the middle of the bed as revenge (this is a dog who’s been trained to not go to the toilet in the house and knows to come and ask for the toilet regardless of what’s going on if he thinks he needs it)!
This post had me both laughing & crying. I, too, had a pittie named Rocky that was used as a bait dog. We adopted him from an amazing rescue called Mac’s Mission. We lost him to cancer just over a year ago. You can see him in my post history. He was the best dog ever.
"My piss smells better than you m8"
It’s amazing how dogs know shitty people before their humans figure it out. I think the Birkenstocks incident was his way of getting your attention, too. Good boy, Rocky!
Every decent dog owner thinks their dog is the best, and they are all absolutely right. Rocky sounds amazing
Our Yorkie hates my oldest sister with a passion. Pretty sure she just sensed that the feeling was mutual, because she’s never warmed up to her. Never pissed on her, never even gummed her hard (she’s toothless, but she can chew kibbles with ease with her hella-strong jaws). But she always runs, barks and lunges aggressively at my sister. But loves both of my sister’s grandkids and most other family members. My sister’s a nice enough person, and to my knowledge has never laid a finger on our dog.
It’s a weird thing, because it’s been a lifelong thing. At some point she forgot she hated my youngest sister’s boy, who in his childhood had a bad habit of picking her up against her will.
In dogs (and other animals) like him we will always trust!
Rocky had a soulmate in my aunt’s cat Pricilla – later dubbed Piss-cilla. She would pee over my ex-uncle when he napped and the disappear for hours.
I rescued a dal who didn’t like my husband. Should have kept the dog.
I love your Rocky. Always trust the dog when they do not like a person. The dog will be right. Good boy Rocky.
No matter how hated the boyfriend was, its pretty disturbing that OP is cheering on her dog pissing and shitting all in the house…
My dog Murphy tried to
on my ex’s head while he was passed out drunk…he was a puppy, but he’d seen the act one too many times. Well, I guess he rolled over onto the puppy pile in his sleep and wasn’t too happy. He grabbed him and attempted to throw him but got a very polite reminder of who was crazier. 
Murph is still the dude detector. If you can win over me AND Murph, there may be hope.
Good boy, Rocky!
I hope you find another awesome pup that reminds you of him.
Smart dog. He knew who his rescuer was & protected you.
