A homeowner has been left furious after his neighbour demanded he get rid of his two dogs - so her children could continue to play in his garden
.
"When we first moved in we were approached by the next-door neighbour who very politely asked if her kids could keep using the backyard to play in. We agreed that it was OK so long as she understood that if her kids got hurt it wasn't our problem and we wouldn't be supervising kids playing or anything.
He continued: "The problem started when a lady we didn't know showed up at our house and started screaming at my wife, apparently her six-year-old had come home with his friends and they had dog poo smeared all over their hands. She basically told my wife that if she didn't get rid of the dogs then her kids wouldn't come over anymore and she'd press charges for endangerment.
"Several of the nice neighbours have come by to beg us to change our minds but we don't want to risk it and we don't have the time to supervise the kids so the gates stay locked. We are now arguing with a couple of people who feel it's unfair that the entire neighbourhood is tarred because of one person's actions."
