Excerpt: [The suspect], who is medically disabled and struggles to sleep due to chronic eye pain, began complaining about his neighbor’s dogs almost immediately after moving into the upscale West Vine Bungalows neighborhood with his wife in February 2009.
He complained that his neighbors’ two dogs barked all day long while their owners were away. He sent what he called “kindly notes” asking the owners to quiet their dogs. He consulted an animal behaviorist and suggested the dogs’ owners buy bark collars.
He got no satisfaction.

Excerpt: I recall one incident in particular where a dog’s barking drove me up
the wall one morning while I was trying to do some writing at home in
Sherwood. After an hour of putting up with the barking, I decided enough
was enough, and went out to search for the source of the noise. An
elderly neighbour soon joined me, saying she was going to give the dog
owner a piece of her mind for the ruckus the animal was creating.
