One of the most important things to keep in mind when deciding whether or not you should adopt a pet is that you shouldn't adopt one if you don't live in the right conditions because it's not fair for the pet to have to live like that.

A lot of people want to have pets but you have to remember that owning a pet isn't easy in any way and, unfortunately, not everyone is in a position where they can own a pet, especially a dog since they're not easy to take care of and they can also get loud and upset other people.

Owning a dog can be hard even for people who live in houses or flats, so it's hard to imagine that someone would think it's a good idea to own a dog in a student dormitory.

Forcing a dog to live in a small space with owners who are usually away because of classes or other responsibilities is not fair for the dog or the people who live in that dorm.

This is the issue that this Redditor has been facing for the past months because the girl in the room across the hall from his room owns a dog who's been barking all day because he's all alone in a tiny room. OP is convinced that it's not a service animal since he believes that a service dog wouldn't act like that.

OP decided to complain in a group chat that had all the students who lived on that floor in it, and one of the dog owner's friends reached out to him and told him to stop complaining all the time and that he was hurting the dog owner's feelings with his messages in the group chat.

The only reason he thinks he might be in the wrong is that the dog is old and senile, but at the same time, no one forced the girl to bring it into the dorm since he's convinced that it's not a service dog.

He shared this story on Reddit in an attempt to figure out if he was in the wrong, and the people of Reddit helped him out as they usually do.

OP lives in a student dormitory and one of the students there decided that bringing a dog with her was a good idea

They have a group chat for the entire floor and OP used it to complain when the dog was barking during quiet hours, and the responses weren't helpful

After one of OP's complaints, the dog owner's friend reached out to her to tell that she needs to stop complaining all the time

OP felt bad because the dog is old and senile but she still doesn't see why someone would bring a dog like that to a dorm

Careless pet owner

Sounds like a public nuisance

Poor dog

They're quiet hours for a reason

Best to talk about it with the owner

Can't help but feel bad for the dog

The people of Reddit did what they do best and helped OP realize that she's in the right for complaining about the barking dog. We can't help but feel bad for the poor dog that's stuck in a tiny room with no one by his side so something needs to change.

The Redditors backed up OP, but do you agree with them?
