dog owner and residents inside a lift in a housing society in Noida has gained significant attention on social media. Several Twitter users have shared the short clip, fueling a lively debate among online communities. In the 40-second video, a woman can be seen engaged in a dispute with fellow residents regarding her pet dog's lack of a muzzle.

Although she had her pet securely leashed, a man politely requested that she put a muzzle on the dog. However, the woman vehemently resisted the suggestion. The man went on to explain that a «pregnant lady» was also waiting to use the lift and may encounter difficulties if the dog was not muzzled.

Despite this concern, the pet owner remained uncooperative. In response, the pet owner retorted, «Dogs only bite people like you,» when the couple informed her of the increasing number of dog-biting incidents in Noida. The video concluded with the man exclaiming, «What kind of a lady is she?» To which the pet owner curtly replied, «I am much better than your wife.» The video has ignited a vibrant discussion across social media platforms, with users sharing their thoughts and opinions in the comments section.

In recent months, Noida societies have witnessed numerous instances of confrontations between pet owners and residents. People have often raised concerns over their own safety, especially in people's ability to control their animals, particularly in high-rise complexes where such incidents are on the rise. The video serves as a catalyst for deeper conversations about responsible pet ownership and the need for mutual respect and understanding among residents in housing societies.
