Isn't this treatable?  Why does the dog need to go?

What?  Why?  Hookworms are treatable, but can be serious. I think you need to be a little more sympathetic to the dog and your sister, and less "freaking out."

Chill out. Hookworms are totally treatable. It just takes a week or two of pills and they are all gone. Maybe you should learn to take some time to actually investigate and talk about things before you jump to conclusions.

No need to freak out. Treat the worms and all will be fine.  Sucky for the dog and sis that you are so quick to boot the pooch.

Don't make out with the dog and you won't get worms. Just get your sister to treat it and it's nbd really.

Have you been licking the dogs ass? Is that why you're freaking out?

It's definitely treatable.
They normally give you a pill or liquid medicine you give your dog once a day, and it should clear up in 1-2 weeks. Nothing to be worried about.
Just make sure after handling the dog, or it's food dishes you wash your hands thoroughly.

This. OP, you're an idiot. Have your sister treat her dog. Stop being a drama queen.

Ditto everyone else. Treat it, move on. Why the heck would get rid of the dog?

Hookworms are pretty common in young dogs. Get the dog on a dewormer and don't play with his poop. Why are you freaking out?

I really hope this is MUD. My biggest pet peeve is people that have pets and then get rid of them b/c of ridiculous reasons (like this one). I treat my pets like they are my children and would never in a million years get rid of them b/c they have a health issue. You, OP, are a total jerk.

I'm glad you don't want to do any research before saying "bye bye doggie".

I think this is a fake post. Almost every dog owner I know understands that hookworms are treatable. She just wants to rile the pet lovers.

I don't remember seeing anything when I signed up here stating I have to support people who make idiotic statements.

You don't care how we feel, yet you posted on an internet message board asking for advice.  Makes sense. 

I'm starting to think you should get rid of the dog-- it sounds like it'd be better off in another home.

Obviously you didn't do adequate research. Hookworms are treatable.

Yeah thats funny i didnt see that either but im pretty sure if you had a question you would want someone to help without the judgement, maybe next time you should shut your mouth since you dont know what i did or didnt know!! Im going to be the bigger person and not respond anymore to you.
