A man's attempt to protect his elderly neighbor's dog from potential harm has led to accusations of vandalism and threats of legal action.The 28-year-old man explained on Reddit this week that his 87-year-old neighbor, who is nearly blind, owns a black Labrador that she lets roam freely in the mornings.Nearly Hit the DogThe dog, which serves as an unofficial support animal, wears a dark winter coat that makes it difficult for drivers to spot him on the dimly lit rural back road.
'Yeah, you could have done something different, but something needed to be done for the safety of this dog, and that's exactly what you did. Something. Anything.'Some users were more critical of the neighbor, suggesting her attachment to the coat was irrational.'The owner is valuing a coat over the life of their dog,' an individual argued.'They couldn't see, or feel the difference. This precious coat would have been ruined when her dog was crushed by a car.
