If you're a parent with a kid on a soccer team, then you know how important those games can be. It's important as a parent to be there to cheer your child on, it's important for you to be there to still congratulate your kid for doing their best even if they lost, and it's important to make sure it's a safe and fair game. Now, that can be kind of difficult if there is a stray animal running loose on the field.

That is the predicament one mom seemed to find herself in. After realizing the dog is nice, a normal, rational, and compassionate human being would probably try to locate the owner and if the owner is nowhere to be found, they would call some sort of animal rescue or animal control. Or heck, if they're feeling especially kind, they'd take the dog home and keep it until they were able to locate the owner. Unfortunately, in this situation, the soccer mom was a Karen…

Yes, it's understandably frustrating and annoying to have to catch a loose dog on your child's soccer game field—not to mention potentially dangerous. And it's extremely upsetting that a dog owner would allow their dog to do such a thing. However, even though this is a problem, you don't saunter up to the closest house and try to make it their problem and then through a rude tantrum when they don't want to help. Which is exactly that this Karen soccer mom did. She took the friendly dog to the closest house, and when the owners had no idea whose dog it was or where that dog came from, she started cussing out the homeowner—as if it were there fault that some random dog was at their child's game. The entitlement of some people??? Read the whole story and some comments below!
