Dogs bark sometimes, it’s only natural. But if your neighbor’s dog can’t seem to take a breath from all of the barking they’re doing from midnight to 3 AM, something is amiss. There’s nothing natural about a doggo stressing out the entire neighborhood while their owner ignores their apparent distress, but this petty neighbor found the perfect way to let this negligent dog owner know the chaos they’d brought upon the whole block. 

After months of dealing with a neighbor’s late-night dog barking soundtrack, this man cleverly decided that the only way to promote actual change was to get petty. With a failed discussion attempt under his belt and a nonchalant response to his broken sleep schedule, he went out and bought a microphone. Poised to show his night-shift-working neighbor what it’s like to lose sleep over a dog bark, he found the perfect way to get even: Through an ultra-loud recording of this guy’s own dog barking, blasted at maximum volume at dawn.
