Entitled Neighbor Demands Dog Owner To Change Dog’s Name To Avoid Confusing His 2-Year-Old Daughter

Leona Martinez

In the story we are going to share with you, a guy with a dog named Charlotte disagreed with his new neighbor over the name. The neighbor's little girl also had the same name, and things got weird when the neighbor insisted the guy change his dog's name. The dog owner saw no issue with it and was unwilling to change his dog's name. So, he said no.

As the argument heated up, the neighbor thought the kid's name was more important, while the guy stuck to his guns. After a door slam, things got awkward with the neighbor glaring during the dog's potty break. The story brings up a question: who gets the name priority, humans or pets? Read on to find out how this neighborly clash plays out and what it says about people and their pets.
