YouTuber Nikki Phillippi, best known for her family's lifestyle and religious YouTube content, announced her return to the platform after a hiatus following her dog incident.For context, Nikki and her husband Dan revealed in a May YouTube video that they euthanized their family dog, Bowser, who displayed signs of aggression towards their son. Their decision to put the dog down was met with severe criticism from the online community, with many stating that the family could have re-homed the dog.In a clip from her eighteen-minute video, Nikki Phillippi called others' judgment of their decision "inaccurate and jarring." She also stated that her "friends" watching the video would understand."I have gotten so many messages from those of you that believe us, support us, love us, don't want to burn us at the stake, I haven't even been able to read them all. So even though everyone saw on public display that a lot of people are very upset with us, did not agree with us, and then decide to tear into our 'character' online and twist a bunch of other things, even though that is a reality and has been crazy."

She proved again that she's greedy and awful.— ✨Missy✨ (@serendipilious) July 15, 2021I’m still confused on how the dog was so dangerous but could still be right next to your child for your photo op? @NikkiPhillippi— uhbrutal (@uhbrutal1) July 15, 2021Does Nikki Phillippi really think saying Bowser was bad his whole life is justification for how they handled everything? cause to me it confirms that they had his whole life to address it, and didnt??— Vanessa🌮 (@vanlouhou) July 15, 2021How can you blame the "cancel culture" for losing your sponsorships and not your actions? Gabbie Hanna and Nikki Phillippi both only see themselves as the victims— sam (@immortalsxns) July 16, 2021Dog killer Nikki Phillippi is back on YouTube as if anyone asked her to come back. Disgusting.— ✨Missy✨ (@serendipilious) July 14, 2021oh okay so you felt "the shame of not wanting to make Bowser appear like a bad guy", but you didn't feel guilt for killing your dog? or, guilt for neglecting to get training for him? Nikki Phillippi has some horrifically misplaced values.— AMHH (@helloah__) July 15, 2021Youtube: De-Monetize Nikki Phillippi's YouTube Channel - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/sFmJK16rXj via @Change— rebecca (@bec_0321) July 14, 2021Nikki and her husband Dan have made no further comments on her tentative comeback to YouTube.
