Neighbors can get particularly testy with one another when it comes to their dogs. Let's be honest: people tend to go above and beyond for their own pets. If they break something, it's fine. If they go to the bathroom where they're not supposed to, they get a free pass. If they act out in public, all is forgiven and it's probably someone else's fault. However, we simply do not extend the same courtesy to other people's dogs. If they break something, they're out of control. If they go to the bathroom where they're not supposed to, they have basically committed a crime. If they act out in public, then their owners are incompetent.

Now, if the misbehaving dog in question belongs to your next-door neighbor, then all that tension becomes magnified to the tenth power. Just ask this Redditor, whose neighbor had a pair of aggressive dogs who would bark every time the Original Poster emerged in her own backyard with her dog. The neighbor started siding with her dogs and claimed that it was the Original Poster's fault for wanting to relax on her own property. Eventually, this woman had enough of her neighbor and stood up for herself.
