When I getting home last night, the neighbours dog was locked out the front of their place and trying to get in and pretty frantic. Good doggo for not running away.
But they have this nuts security on their front gate. So I pressed the intercom thing.. neighbour pressed a button in their house, then all of a sudden a loud alarm went off and 2 massive red lights started flashing for about 10 seconds. Felt dystopian af and scared the shit outta me for few seconds there. She's a lovely neighbour and was very appreciative, but man, that gate is nightmare fuel.
what? Door bells and intercoms are there to be pressed.
They had a break in a few years ago where thieves broke in whilst they were sleeping and stole car keys from their bedroom. So the dude went all out security wise. I think she may have pressed the wrong button to open the front gate initially and hit the alarm. Even though I was returning their pooch my first instinct was to run, doggo be damned heh. Definitely did what it was to meant to do.
well that is understandable then
The one time I locked my dog outside he sat on the porch and cried.
