Woman Buries Neighbor's Dog Alive As It Refused To Stop Barking; Says She Doesn't Regret It

A woman in Brazil got tired of her neighbor's dog barking all the time, so she buried it alive in her backyard. According to a story in UK-based Express, the 82-year-old woman confessed to burying the dog Nina in the municipality of Planura.

The dog's owner alerted law enforcement that she confronted the lady and was told she had buried the dog in the backyard because the dog's barking disturbed her sleep.

The news outlet said the dog was eventually found to be healthy.

Several Brazilian news agencies shared a video of the dog emerging from underground.

When the dog's owner, a 33-year-old woman, learned what the neighbor had done, she allegedly ran out to the garden to find a patch of earth that had been disturbed.

According to Express, it took almost two hours to locate and find the dog and then another hour and a half to get it out and transport it to a veterinarian.

The neighbor, though, was unapologetic. She gave an ultimatum to the dog's owner:

"Don't let her come over here anymore." When the police questioned the 82-year-old, she told them she would "bury it again."

The lady was sent to custody after being charged with mistreating animals.
