Even the most devoted and enthusiastic dog lovers become irritated with unnecessary barking, especially when it’s from a neighbor’s animal. In today’s Reddit story, our OP is the dog owner and their neighbor is the one who is fed up by the constant barking. OP believes they are being helpful with their response to this complaint but it’s actually quite the opposite. Scroll down to read the full story:
