I work with a work colleague on a one to one basis however I think she’s lied to me about having 2 dogs (she does have 1) as well as to various other work colleagues.

Report to HR?

101, at least.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it must be a terrible time.

No one likes being lied to and I imagine you must be totally consumed thinking about what else your work colleague that you work with might be deceitful about.

My thoughts are with you, supporting you and I hope you can find the strength to move forwards in time 💐

Perhaps she also has a cat - but one that identifies as a dog…😳

Well someone is going to tread in it if you dont.

101, at least.

Dalmations?

BarryKentPoet · 18/04/2026 08:53

I can see why you are upset OP, I would be too. I would log it with 101 and go NC with her.Can you ask your employer to move her from your department? You shouldn't be expected to work with such a CF.

I haven't got any neighbours.
I'm a hermit.

Ok OK no need to get crabby.

I once worked with a girl who pretended to have a kid so she could take time off work due to her fake child being ill and other child related reasons. She even had a car seat in her car. Another woman joined the company who knew her and it all came out. Was bloody awkward for her and she left.

OMG how long did she keep this up for ? Did the child have a name and were they in the school play ?

Rosesanddaffs · 18/04/2026 09:04

😂🤣😂🤣😂 at the responses

Tryanalogue · 18/04/2026 09:18

Do they call her “Two Dogs?”

Follow her home. Take binoculars. That's sure to go well, and answer your question.

She might Spot the other dog.

KnitWitsAnonymous · 18/04/2026 09:29

Right, OP ~ we need some answers to some very important questions

(1) What made you think that your work colleague (the one you work with) has two dogs?

(2) What has led to you believing that she only has one dog?

(3) Have you any evidence to back this up?

Sorry to be so dogmatic, my bark is worse than my bite but I've been chewing this over all night

I think it's Bouncer from Neighbours.

Rover and out.

Based on the info given, I think you're right. She's definitely lying.

This 😎

Tryanalogue · 18/04/2026 09:32

Don’t let her get off scottie-free!

They should bring back the cat for this sort of crime.

Gallowayan · 18/04/2026 09:34

Have you been taking drugs?

People shouldn’t have to say how many dogs they have at work; there should be a non-disclosure claws.

Hang the bag of shit from a tree!

Yep, based on what you've said she's definitely lying. You need to start a teams chat with all your colleagues and set out your case against her in as much detail as possible. See if others can contribute any evidence in the firm of single dog vibes or similar and see if you bring a case to HR to have her investigated.

Whataretalkingabout · 18/04/2026 10:01

It must be a blind dog. That's why she didn't see it.

Flowersforyourchocolateprettyplease · 18/04/2026 10:04

Men post on here to bait, I think this is one of those.
