'Time to get to work!': Fed up homeowner builds fence to block neighbor's 3-year-old neglected child from entering his property and feeding his dogs literal garbage

We have a few rules that we live by in our lives - one of the main ones is to treat people the way you want to be treated, and our dogs, our problem. If our doggo mistakenly steals a kid's ice cream while on a walk (this actually happened), we would of course offer to pay for a new ice cream for the kid. The same goes for the opposite scenario - if something was happening that put our doggos in a compromising situation, we would do whatever it took to keep them safe from it instead of waiting for someone else to fix it.

In this scenario, a frustrated homeowner is having trouble with his neighbor's terrible toddler, who has taken advantage of a hole in their fence to have unsupervised interactions with the homeowner's doggos and has even fed them literal garbage (because he's a kid and doesn't understand). Not everyone liked that decision, so scroll down and read all the juicy drama below!

This is just downright irresponsible. You never know what somebody's dogs are like. We're too accustomed to cute dogs on social media, but there are a lot of reactive and fearful dogs out there. Never let a child have an unsupervised interaction with a stranger's dog!

This guy is being much nicer than we would be. If a neighbor's kid drew on our car and house with a permanent marker… there would be words. Lots of words. A fence is a much nicer solution.
