Hi, I'm a boy, 19 years old. I have had a puppy for 10 years. We grew up together, he was close to me and he turned out to be my best friend. We have always taken care of each other, but the time has come when I have to study at university. My dog will stay with my parents, who will take care of him less well. They work. They will be able to walk a pet before going to work and after returning. Then they will feed him. This is not fair! After so much time of loyalty, do I repay my boyfriend like that? My heart breaks and I don't know what to do. And yet, as I got older, I started to miss out on the need, and just seeing the reaction of ours, I don't feel like leaving at all. Once I was outside and during that time my dog was with ours and dropped out. Guess what - I found my father hitting the dog. We fought a lot, but I know that this will happen again. What guilt is the animal ... it's my fault. I'm really sick and I don't know what to do. I'm just getting more and more devastated as I leave for the other city. Yes, I will come home from time to time, but is it enough?

Take it with you? This seems to be the only option.
Short, precise and clear: Find a place to go with a dog and some work if you can't afford it. If your dog is used only to you and yours does not want him, and a kind of forced to take care of him, he will be sick there. He doesn't have much time left and deserves someone to love him and take care of his needs, which will become more over time. If you can't take him that much, at least find him a home where they will take care of him and not beat him, because he is old and can't be squeezed.
I agree with the above comment, find a place to put you with a dog. It's not that hard. But by no means leave it, it does not deserve it! And I was a student until 2 years ago, and I was staying with my puppy :) So be sure to take it, it's not impossible!
I don't know if you will go to a university abroad or here, but if you stay here it is better to look for a place where you can take the dog and if you are abroad it will be very difficult to take it with you, but you can still ask in any country except bulgaria people would be tolerant of the animal because they are broad-minded
I don't know if you have the opportunity to take it with you, but once you write this - obviously not ... I can only advise you about "dropping" - there are vets for this job, a 10-year-old dog is not old, dogs live at 18 -20 years...
