Imagine this- you are having a delightful lunch with family and friends, it's a beautiful day so you have decided to set up a table and eat outside. You are thoroughly enjoying this fun activity as well as the delicious food. Then you decide to take your pals for a walk around your property, to see some of the highlights that you are proud of. When you return, the neighbor's dog has infiltrated your picnic table and devoured countless desserts. Oh, sugar. Being the responsible person that you are, you immediately inform the owners of the dog so that they may assess the situation and make necessary decisions. And then a few days later you get hit with a gigantic vet bill.

Well, if you are the original poster of this ridiculous Reddit thread, then you do not have to imagine. This is actually OP's unfortunate reality. Okay, so let's get our facts straight here. The owners of the dog in question ALLOWED their dog to wander off, trespass onto their neighbor's property, and help his hongry self to a dessert feast in which chocolate (lethal for doggos) was on the menu. AND THEN had the AUDACITY to ask their neighbor to cover the hefty vet bills. We are done with the human race y'all, we can't make this sh*t up.

    NOPE.

    Font - This week, I(28f) hosted a family gathering. The people there were my sister and her family(4 in total), my brother and his wife, my boyfriend, and mine and his parents. I live relatively out in the country, so it's not exactly common for whole properties to be fenced, usually it's just fences for animals.

    Font - Since it was nice out, we ate lunch outside. Some of the food wasn't immediately brought inside after we ate, including some deserts that were mostly chocolate, and a bit of fruit. I figured the food would probably be fine being left out for a little bit, and if not it could just be thrown away. The food was covered, too.

    It was a nice day, OP wanted to eat outside, sue her.

    Font - After we ate, we went down to the small pond that's on my property for a little bit(probably half an hour/45 minutes). It has a nice dock and view of the trees, and is a great place to spend some time. When we got back up to where the food was left, the neighbors dog was on the table, eating the food, and had ripped the covers off.

    "When we got back up to where the food was left, the neighbors dog was on the table, eating the food, and had ripped the covers off."

    That dog was ON THE TABLE  and had RIPPED THE COVERS OFF. Please, tell us again how OP is responsible for this unfortunate display of poor dog training?

    Font - I got my neighbors and they apologized, but asked what the dog had eaten. I told them, and some of the food was toxic to dogs(chocolate, grapes, etc).

    Font - They started freaking out and rushed their dog to the vet. Yesterday they contacted me and asked if I would pay the vet bills. Their dog survived, but needed extensive care and had wracked up quite a bit in vet bills.

    Font - I offered to pay a quarter of the bills, but they wanted all of it, because the food she ate was mine. I told them if they hadn't let their dog on my property it wouldn't have eaten my food.

    Font - They said that it had accidentally gotten out and they didn't mean to, and that I should pay all the bills. I then made a remark about how they should pay for the food the dog ate, but they weren't amused and got more upset. I told them a quarter or nothing, and they're still upset about it and want me to pay more. I did leave the food out, though. AITA for not paying the full cost?

    Font - Zealousideal-Chance · 5 mo. ago Partassipant [1] NTA. It's THEIR Dog, THEY let it out accidentally, THEY failed to supervise their pet. The fact that the trouble the dog got into happened to be on your property doesn't make you responsible here. It's the responsibility of the pet owner to keep their pet safe. Full stop. 17.5k Reply Share ••.

    Font - Beckylately · 5 mo. ago Yeah, I wouldn't pay them a dime. This is 100% their fault. Giving them any money implies you are partially at fault. You are not at all. 6.8k Reply Share •••
