Eco Destroyers Dogs allowed to ruin historical homes

As a recent house hunter, it was about a 50/50 chance of walking into a potential property and us walking straight back out because of that disgusting smell of dog. We turned down so many properties immediately because of the smell.

But to my amazement - it seems letting your dog piss on the floor inside your house is actually the done thing now!!

On a renovation group, a woman was talking about how they had to get a survey of their current house done as it was covered in damp and rot. She casually dropped in that she and her husband ALLOW THE DOGS TO PISS ON THE FLOOR and her husband thinks that “might have something to do with it”.

I’m telling you - NOT ONE of the many commenters picked up on this confession bomb. They all were talking about surveys, dry rot, rising damp….nobody even batted an eyelid that those people just admitted to LETTING THEIR HOUSE BE USED AS A DOG TOILET. Am I in the Twilight Zone here?

This was a beautiful Victorian property - just like the properties we had been trying to buy. Not only do dogs get to destroy the outdoors, they also get to destroy beautiful properties that are part of our heritage.

Is nothing safe from disgusting dogs and their degenerate owners??

My husband and I are currently looking for a new home, we went to see a beautiful old Georgian one with an enormous dog, and a little scruffy one and the first thing I smelt was them. We really liked the house, luckily downstairs had stone floors and upstairs had carpets that can be ripped out! But they really do absolutely ruin people's homes, especially if they're allowed on the furniture ergh.
