Pet lovers want to put one cranky “Karen” in the doghouse.
A Georgia woman caught her neighbor on camera blasting an air horn at an unsuspecting dog, causing the startled pooch to flinch.
Dog owner Lauren Eckhoff said her new neighbor has been harassing her pet for months, beginning shortly after she moved in.
The two women live in adjacent townhomes with a shared yard, where Eckhoff sometimes takes her dog.
At 6:40 a.m. one recent morning, the woman appeared to catch the dog off guard, according to an Instagram Reel Eckhoff posted on November 5.
Barefoot and in a bathrobe, the woman peeked around the corner of her townhome, apparently unaware that her neighbor was recording her, and blasted the air horn, startling the leashed dog.
She then stepped fully into view and sounded it twice more.
Eckhoff called out, “Smile for the camera,” prompting the woman to retreat.
But when Eckhoff sarcastically added, “Keep it up,” the woman responded, “I will.”
Fed up, Eckhoff shared the clip online, which has gained more than a million views and is counting.
She told supporters in the comments that she is seeking a temporary restraining order, adding that the woman “is digging her own hole.”
Some skeptics speculated that Eckhoff must not be cleaning up after her dog, but the proud pet owner refuted those claims. She also described her dog as “the sweetest little girl” who “loves everyone.”
A top comment read: “Is this a joke? How miserable does someone have to be?”
Others were concerned that the air horn might hurt the dog’s ears. “Is this not harassment? I’d file a complaint,” wrote one.
Through it all, several noted that the dog was still wagging its tail.
As one commenter put it, “Your dog is like ‘da f-q?’” followed by “literally so unfazed.”
Follow-up videos from Eckhoff show the woman escalating tensions between the two by blowing leaves and tossing something over her gate.
