and still ranting about the noise, what's with people going in the street or in public transportation with their phones blasting music, don’t they know what earphones are, why should the whole word have to listen what they want. If I want to listen to music I will I don’t need you to provide music for me, in fact I would prefer you didn’t

What really killed me is, it didn't work! He decided that his dog couldn't POSSIBLY be making all that noise, that I'd provoked the dog, stood right by his gate to "make" the dog bark, and that it was all hyperbole, dog-style.
Honestly, at that point--and I'm not trying to be a drama queen--I thought I was going to have some kind of freaking breakdown. Mr. H is relatively deaf (a lifetime of flying old airplanes), and the mutt didn't bother him as much, because he simply couldn't hear him that clearly. I've been blessed (and cursed) with really wide-ranging hearing; I can
still hear ranges of sounds that most people can't, even when they are young. I never minded that, until the Incident of the Dog in the Daytime, y'know?
I nearly cried with happiness when I found out he'd met some woman and was
MOVING. God only knows what the people at his new neighborhood went through--she had a large dog, too. (Not that size is relevant to noise, IME.) I worried for the other dog that it would pick up the horribly bad habits of the original Hound of the Barkervilles and sadly, we all know what happens to dogs that are unmanageable due to poor training by their owners.
