Every fantastic business idea starts with a story, right?

This one is inspired by my neighbours who neglect the crap out of their poor dogs in the backyard. They’re actually barking as I type this because…when are they NOT barking?

Here’s the quick backstory on this brilliant business idea (that you should totally steal if you have a healthy dose of snark in your bones)

This is NOT a dog business but you need to bear with the backstory for the full picture. 😁

About a month ago, I called animal control because these poor young puppies were left huddling together in my neighbour’s yard, fully exposed to the elements in a sideways rain storm.

Officers showed up, taught the owners the basics of humane pet parenting, and then left.

Great….for a day or two.

But animal control can’t monitor the yard 24/7 and the people still don’t care about their puppies. They bark non-stop from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and now it’s become a problem for me. I have a home office, a tolerance level, and loads of compassion for neglected animals.

But how can I tell them exactly how I feel without creating all out neighbour wars? And without having to steal their puppies and raise them myself?

Anonymously. That’s how.

This Anonymous mask will never get old!

Here’s the business idea…😆😆
