Noida dog owner told to leave elevator after child gets scared, leading to argument.

The video has received mixed reactions on social media

A video has surfaced on social media showing a dog owner and resident of a Greater Noida Housing Society getting into a heated argument over the use of the lift. In the video, the owner of a German shepherd dog was asked by the society guard to exit the lift as a child who was inside the elevator, was reportedly scared to ride with the dog. In response, the man demanded that the young boy leave the elevator if he was not comfortable sharing space with his dog.

Argument Over Use of Lift

“It’s raining so come spring, main wait do for him (if he is scared he should exit the lift, why should I wait for him?)” the man questioned.

Soon after, a woman from the same society came in support of the boy and asked the dog owner to step back and take another lift as the child was already using the elevator. However, the dog owner was adamant and insisted that he was following all rules and that his dog was muzzled. “My dog’s face is muzzled. Why is the child afraid? If he is afraid, ask him to alight and take the next trip,” he said.

Incident at Gaur City Seventh Avenue Society

The incident is reported to have taken place at one of the buildings of Gaur City Seventh Avenue society in Greater Noida West.

Mixed Reactions on Social Media

The woman further threatened the dog owner by recording the entire conversation and repeatedly asked him, “What is your flat number?” The video then ends with the man eventually leaving with his dog and using another lift.

The video has received mixed reactions on social media, with some users saying that the man’s behavior was arrogant, while others argued that he did nothing wrong.

• Some users mentioned that the dog was muzzled and under control, so the woman’s reaction was unnecessary.
• Another user expressed sympathy for the dog and criticized the owner’s behavior.
• A third user emphasized that the child’s safety should be prioritized over the dog owner’s pride.

Last month, a similar incident occurred in Gurugram, where a woman and a six-month-old child were attacked by a pet dog inside a residential society lift.
