Last week I spoke to neighbour about dog barking so frequently, daily for a year since I moved in. He said he and his wife had health issues and he said hed look into starting training this week.
This week dog has been barking late into the evenings. After waking me last night three times I spoke with neighbour on his way back from the pub who said he hadnt had chance to start training because of everything going on. I explained the toll it was taking and he said his elderly dog, never makes a noise, had died just before he had gone to the pub. It was old and very frail. I said how sorry I was and how much I'd appreciate them to look into training.
I was very shocked when at 3am I saw dog who was supposed to have died out in the years barking its little head off. Very frail. I didnt mind too much. Its old and doesnt make a noise, but what did bother me was that neighbour had said it had died before he went out!
I then saw dog was out at 8am when I opened the curtains and again at 10am when it was caught in a downpour, dog sodden and blanket sodden. Female neighbour was home but didnt bring it in. Dog too frail to go in, dont know if back door was open. Also witnessed dog panting very heavy and walking round and round in circles. I was about to report to RSPCA when neighbour came round asking me to 'bear with them' because elderly dog had died.
I'd noticed she had brought dog in about ten minutes before she came round, so the poor dog was dying alone with a wet blanket outside.
I'm taking my complaint further with council as it's been a motherfucker of a morning with the barking and then her coming round but aibu to think theyre horrible for leaving the dog outside to die alone in its last hours and him saying it had died yesterday? I so wanted to take him to task on his blatant lie but will allow the council to deal with it from now on and I'll not say another word to them.
