A woman who says her neighbour repeatedly let her dog poo in her garden eventually lost her patience, and decided to hand a bag of the mess back in person. Andrea Whiteside, 53, waited for the dog owner and her pesky pet to pass by on their daily walk, with their interaction caught on her Ring doorbell cam.
Footage shows no-nonsense Andrea waiting in her front garden with the soiled bag, waiting for her supposedly cheeky neighbour to walk by her house. She then handed her the poo over the fence, telling her, "Here you are love, that belongs to you. Your dog's s******* outside my garden, again."
Looking a bit confused, the neighbour reluctantly took the bag, without giving any response, took a quick look at it before moving on. At this point, however, the dog unfortunately bashed into the fence panel, which Andrea slammed back into place with comic timing.
Andrea, from Lancaster, Lancashire, has since shared the interaction to TikTok, adding the amused caption, "Only happens in the UK".
One follower hailed her as a "legend", while another applauded: "The hand on the hip, the haircut, the energy... it's what she's been training for."
A third chuckled: "[I can] tell she's northern. Absolutely despises her but called her love...."
Andrea said: "I feel as a nation of dog owners it is our responsibility to clean up after our dogs. The area where I live has had problems with dog faeces for months now and it's due to a small percentage of dog owners who allow their pets to poo without picking up after them.
"The lady involved in the recording was seen by myself to allow her dog to poo directly outside my home on a number of occasions.
"I did speak to her regarding picking up after her dog so was disappointed to see more poo outside the property the following day.
"I looked back at footage on the door camera and was gobsmacked to see the same lady allow her dog to poo and walk away without picking it up again. I knew the lady in question would be passing at a certain time each morning so I handed it back to her after I had bagged it up myself."
She continued: "I couldn't hazard a guess as to how long she has allowed her dog to foul the pavement as it's only recently that I had the camera installed.
"When I approached her the first time regarding her not picking up after the dog she was actually very apologetic which is why I was gobsmacked when I saw her the following day blatantly stood allowing the dog to poo directly outside the gate of my front garden and walking away without picking it up.
"The majority of the comments on social media have been positive as there's dog fouling all over the UK and it's clear to see by the thousands of likes and hundreds of comments people are becoming increasingly fed up with picking up the mess irresponsible dog walkers leave behind."
