OP (20f), a college student with a service dog named Dixie, brings her beloved companion to visit family over the holidays. During their stay, OP’s aunt (51f) takes Dixie for a walk but removes her cherished toy, a raccoon, without realizing its significance to Dixie. On the walk, Dixie accidentally swallows a rock while resisting the aunt’s attempt to take it away, leading to an emergency vet visit and a hefty bill of nearly $2000. OP requests her aunt to cover the expenses, considering her financial situation as a college student, but her aunt, a multimillionaire, refuses, accusing OP of entitlement. The family sides with the aunt, leaving OP feeling frustrated and unsupported despite accepting her aunt’s apology for the accident.
