Medo, a dog from Peroj, Croatia, cannot bark between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., this after a court declared the dog’s barks as public nuisance and if the pet doesn’t follow the law, his owners will have to pay more than $2,900 in fines.
Medo’s owner were taken to court by one of their neighbors who said the dog’s excessive barking was too much to take. However the dog’s owners say the barking only started after the neighbor started teasing their pet.
A local judge heard the case and ruled against Medo and his owners. Now the canine is forced to stay indoors between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. to prevent the dog from breaking the law.
However, Medo’s owners say the court mandated curfew is affecting their pet. The dog is not an indoor pet and was used to roaming the neighborhood freely as he wished. Now Medo has to be locked indoors every night.
then they complain when their cars are stolen and the dog didn’t bark 🙂
The ruling may be excessive but why do the owners think it’s alright to let their dog roam the neighborhood freely… Leash him keep him safe and maybe that will solve the problem
If they figure out a way to stop a dog from barking, someone please let me know!
Did you read the article? The dog roams the neighborhood barking. TOTALLY different situation. I think the time frame is a little harsh, but also why is your dog just roaming around barking incessantly? Not even in your yard but just in the neighborhood?
I think the dog should be at your house then judge the barking
The dog should be kept inside! I can’t say I feel bad for the owners. Who allows their dog to roam free?
Put your dog inside. Why is this an issue
