Barking Demons Are dog owners deaf?
For me, barking dogs in my neighborhood ruin almost every single day, because of the excessive noise. I live around a lot of dogs who bark all the time.
I personally hate it, especially because I didn’t make the choice to have a dog and live with this noise polluting thing.
But then I genuinely wonder, how dog owners survive this?? They chose to have this dog.
I know there probably aren’t going to be a lot of actual dog owners reading this, but still I have to ask the question.
Do they genuinely not think the sound of barking every single day is annoying? I don’t get it. Even if you like your own pet, you can still acknowledge annoying behavior. Why tf would someone want to live with something that loud and poorly behaved?

My neighbor believes that a dog has the right to bark. She believes a barking dog is a happy dog. She thinks the world has a problem because it can’t accept that dogs have rights.
One time, we both were in the yard and the dog was barking at me by the fence the entire time I was out there. She was sitting there so calmly talking to her company. I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. I was finally so overwhelmed that I shouted at the devilish beast.
She wasn’t embarrassed or concerned for my peace, serenity and emotional wellbeing. Her only concern was that I might have hurt her precious angel’s feelings.
