My neighbors dog hears a leaf fall in my yard in the middle of the night semi-frequently and just barks. For hours. They do nothing about it, they just let the dog sit outside and bark. I had never considered shooting a dog before that happened 7 or 8 times, going to be honest. Edit: to be clear, I would never actually harm my neighbors dog — when you're up til 5 in the morning because your neighbors won't control their animal... You won't be emotionally or mentally stable.
