Not to help catch a stray/escaped dog! Now it’s my fault it’s been injured apparently!

And what does this post make you?

Wtf, calling someone "shitty person" for not allowing stranger with a dog story into her house and garden. If he wanted to help the dog, he could had waited at the hole.

Totally disagree. What if op hasn't been at home?

Owner is totally at fault.

No to letting anyone in your house. He could be a criminal. Could you even see the dog? Someone can stand in my garden, as long as there is no access to the house and I would keep an eye on them. But that wasn’t the situation, access was via house - no way.

I'm wondering whether the dog is actually a stray rather than one that keeps escaping and had been loose for 2 weeks at least now. What makes you think it keeps escaping?

I don't understand why you didn't go put the dog on the lead if you could though? Assuming it wasn't a XL Bully or something, alternatively why didn't the rando wait by the hole while you chased it out the garden? You're being silly to suggest they had to stand in your garden for two hours to wait for the dog warden, they could wait for him at their own house. You sound a bit weird tbh OP.

A strange man knocks at your door and says he needs help looking for a lost puppy, can he come in?
I think some posters skipped the stranger danger talk at primary school 😂

You had a chance to help.

You chose not to. Own it.

Irresponsible human being - no thought for helping others at all. Karma mate.

So the dog came out through the same hole and only exit to your back garden and then got run over? I don't understand how it would have been any harder for this good Samaritan to stand by the hole as opposed to the dog? Weird.

She was at work!

Someone else's unruly and untrained animal is not her problem to fix.

There's no way I'd interrupt my working day to allow several strangers into my home while I was there alone. The man could have waited outside until it left the garden if he was so keen. It's the owners fault that the dog was injured and nobody else. What an inappropriate thing for someone to do, to bang on the door of a woman they don't know purely to have a go at her.

I assume OP didn't see the dog go into her garden as well, so would be taking a man's word that he needed to go into her house and garden for that reason.

YANBU

I wouldn't have let some random man into my house and garden either.

If the dog ran through your garden 2 weeks ago, how is that relevant to it being hit by a car now?

Presumably it hasn't been lose for 2 weeks.

The warden usually gives the dog back to the owner anyway. I suspect your actions made no difference to the final outcome.

So helping a dog doesn't make him random?

A man, that has nothing better to do than wait in a garden for hours?

Would let a strange man walk through your house and sit in your garden in any other situation?

No I wouldn't have let him in either.

He could have waited at the other side of the fence.

Definitely not! OP had no way of knowing if that bloke was safe, and the fact that he's come to her door mouthing off in this way indicates she was right not to let him in. Berating a woman he doesn't know and then shouting at her when she closes the door?! Fucking weirdo.

Oh do get over yourself! If someone is indoors in their own house, they are perfectly entitled not to get involved with something going on outside - especially when they are working.
Letting random do-gooders strangers onto your property makes you liable for any injury that might be caused, too, unless you stay with them to ensure that they don’t hurl themselves off the terrace - or get bitten by the stray dog.
Nobody should be expected to drop what they are doing to enable anyone (except an official, E.g Policeman) carry out a rescue mission…

He was asking to be allowed into the house and the garden and wait there for an unspecified amount of time, while the OP was working. If OP needed to go out should she leave the stranger locked in the garden?

And then he just walked off instead of waiting outside the fence. It's not OP"s responsibility to let randomers into her house and garden.

I'd've let them in to get the dog but them knocking and shouting at you is ridiculous.

Hmm. Random man trying to help a dog fgs!

YANBU.
The way how he blame you shows that you were totally right to not let that man in.

And yes, some people are really working when working from home.

If they suggested to block the hole (they could had done it from outside of your garden), so the dog would had been contained and you letting the dog warden in later, maybe that could had been considered, but random person demanding to stay is absurd.

Considering how the man acted towards OP , OP did right not to have allowed them in.

So is there only one way in and out of the garden for the dog, through the hole? If so why did helpful neighbour not wait there for the dog to come out?

There is nothing unethical about refusing to put yourself out for some random dog.
I realize this might come as a shock to some, but what if, say, you don't really care about dogs? Why on earth would you interrupt your working day in your own home in order to satisfy some random dog fans on here that you're a half decent person.

Is this our moral yardstick now?
How far will you go to help a dog?
