In Defense of Dogs: A Tale of Neighborhood Drama
In a clash of canine versus commerce, our 26-year-old homeowner finds herself in a heated argument with a realtor who claims her barking dog is hindering house sales. But our heroine isn’t taking this lying down. She argues that her dog only barks when passersby interact with her, and if they want a dog-free neighborhood, they’re in for a tough search. With her mother suggesting she should’ve just agreed and closed the door, our protagonist stands her ground, defending her dog’s right to be, well, a dog. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this tail-wagging tale…
