Imagine this- you are a young and healthy individual with lots of energy and free time. You notice that your next door neighbor is an elderly woman with limited physical capabilities. Plot twist, she has a dog who is unfortunately cooped up most of the time due to his owner's physical limits. If you're a kind and giving person you may find yourself, like this Reddit user, offering to help out a neighbor in need by walking her dog.
Now here's where it gets a little sticky, another neighbor saw this user helping their elderly neighbor and requested that he walk her dogs for free as well. OP kindly says "no" and that's where the story ends…only it's not. Some people are just not able to comprehend that no means no. Simple as that. OP is walking his neighbor's dog out of the kindness of his heart, he does not deserve to be harassed by other's who declare that are also deserving of his services. Basically, it's a whole thing. Let's get some opinions. Is OP in the wrong? Or does his other neighbor need to back off and respect that he is not interested in walking her dogs. This neighbor sounds like the kind of mom who would dump the kids on the babysitter and dip out of town.
First off- kudos to OP for being a caring and attentive neighbor. We respect his good intentions and kind gesture! It can get harder to take care of a doggo as you get older, but like a wise person once said "it takes a village to raise a doggo."
Okay, so you're a single mother who does not have time to walk your dogs? Maybe…just maybe, consider rehoming the dogs? We have got to say, public service announcement: if you are not in a position to take care of a dog, don't get one. And definitely don't get THREE.
No means no, say it with us now y'all.
Nothing in life is free y'all. We already knew that, though. Some people still have a lot to learn.
