That happened to me with a baby rat, and I even got him a little friend to live with... then my roommate's dog broke the cage & killed poor Felix, so I gave the other rat to a friend (as a pet). Once you develop a "personal" attachment to a rodent, it is difficult to use them as a feeder - at least for some of us, LOL.
To the OP, this is exactly why I now have 2 critter keepers... complete with bedding, toilet paper rolls (they like sleeping in them), water bottles, food, etc. You'd be surprised how often this happens when you're feeding live, so it's always good to be prepared. I understand your dad hates mice, so your other option is to bring it to a pet store. If the place where you got it won't take it back, Petco will usually accept a "donated" mouse. And they always have mice at the humane society, so that's another possibility.
