Teen Grounded for Defending Her Dog : Was She Right or Wrong?

Meet our 16-year-old heroine, who’s caught in a battle with her parents over their treatment of her 10-year-old dog. The poor pup is terrified of loud, high-pitched noises, and her parents have been testing their smoke detector for kicks, causing the dog to freak out. After multiple attempts to reason with them, she finally snaps and confronts them, only to be grounded for being ‘disrespectful.’ Now she’s defying her punishment, and the internet is weighing in on whether she’s right or wrong.
