Dog owners love their furry friends like family and go to great lengths to keep them safe. After all, who can resist protecting such beloved creatures? For many, dogs aren’t just pets; they’re cherished members of the family. But sometimes, this love and protection can go a tad overboard. Take the story we have got for you guys today, as shared by Reddit user ItchyInitial4450 on the infamous subreddit “Am I The A$$hole?

OP found themselves at a local brewery facing a dilemma: to reach the restroom, they had to navigate past a lone dog blocking one of the paths. Choosing to pass by the dog, OP ended up inadvertently upsetting the dog’s owner, sparking a debate over who was in the wrong.

1. Let’s find out!

2. One day, OP went out to have some food with his buddies.

3. OP had to pee and both routes that went to the bathroom were blocked, one by a group of people and a waiter serving food, and the other by someone’s dog.

4. OP couldn’t wait any longer, so instead of waiting for the group to clear, she stepped over the dog and went to the restroom.

5. When OP came back, the dog’s owner came up to telling him off for stepping over his dog.

6. OP told the guy that his dog had no purpose laying in the aisle of a public place, blocking every coming and going person.

I think the dog owner is out of his mind. This was not his home, but a restaurant where everyone had the right to come. In no way do you let your dog chill in the middle of such a place just because you think it is comfortable there. No, keep it under your table or at home.

OP was NTA!

7. Of course he was going to talk more sh*t as you were walking away.

8. One of OP’s friends said he shouldn’t have stepped over the dog and waited for the other route to clear.

20. This is true. Nobody would’ve faulted the dog had it bitten or attacked OP.
