To offer to look after this fucking dog?

[AWiseWomanOnceSaidFuckThisShit]

My neighbour thought it would be a great idea to buy a very needy, clingy puppy while she fucks off out to work all day. Today she went back from furlough and the fucking thing is already going absolutely berserk. I've had her about it twice before and to be fair to her she is trying various things to calm it down. It's less than 6 months old. But the bottom line is it's a puppy and they are NOT designed for this. I can't see an end to it and she won't rehome it, which she should if she loves it. I'm working from home. I need to concentrate. Puppy is fine when with people. So muggins here is considering offering to have her responsibility here in my house, providing for free what would normally be a very expensive service during the day so it sits down and shuts the fuck up. Only until I go back to the office later this year. So unfair. I don't want to report her it would just be so awkward!

She isn't that concerned OP come on. She'll have known it would come to this when she bought a puppy, and will have known it would struggle to adjust. Dogs were not able to be left for long, of at all before lockdown so why would they be now?

She has been incredibly selfish and is committing animal cruelty. The puppy will be in distress, that is a hugely long amount of time to leave it in this way. She is a terrible person if she does not with immediate effect, give it up to find a proper home, or drop the dog at a day care service while she is at work.

No way would I be entertaining her on this, no way should you excuse what she's done by colluding in it or having to take up your own time because she made a mistake in getting the dog. It will escalate, you will be free dog day care, it will at some point soil in your house, distract you from work or chew furniture etc. It'll be used to constant attention not just constant company so will likely always have separation anxiety more so than a dog who was properly adjusted from the off. She could have taken RSPCA advice when she got it and NOT got it in her unsuitable circumstances.

The people who knew they'd go back to work and got dogs for lockdown company are selfish scumbags. I'd just report her to the council and RSPCA and tell her she's causing you a problem.
