Man says neighbour’s dog keeps defecating outside his flat for two years despite complaints to authorities

A Singaporean man has been experiencing an ongoing issue with his neighbour’s dog defecating in front of his flat for the past two years, despite multiple complaints to authorities. The man reported to Shin Min Daily News that the dog has been relieving itself not only in front of his house but also in front of other neighbours' houses.

Initially, the man tried to address the problem by speaking with the dog owner and requesting him to clean up the mess, but due to his age, he was unable to do so constantly. The dog would go out to defecate two or three times a week, leading the man to install a CCTV to gather evidence. The man emphasized the need for people to have a sense of public responsibility and keep their neighbourhood clean.

When the reporter visited the location, the dog owner claimed that the gate was broken and that he was not purposefully allowing the dog to defecate in front of his house. He also stated that he would clean up the mess if notified. The dog owner admitted that he would sometimes allow the dog to get out due to being tired from work or his children not paying attention to the dog’s actions.
