Garden Drama: Dogs vs. Kids
Our protagonist lives in a corner house with a front garden that they share with their child-minding neighbor. The neighbor’s kids often run into our hero’s garden, which is annoying, but they’ve learned to live with it. One day, they decide to set up dog agility equipment in their front garden, and their pups are loving it! But disaster strikes when one of the neighbor’s kids gets hurt on the equipment, and now the neighbor is demanding it be removed. Our protagonist stands their ground, insisting it’s their property and the kids shouldn’t be there in the first place. But with other neighbors taking sides, they’re starting to wonder if they’re in the wrong. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
