98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Was I Wrong to Report My Neighbor's Dog to Animal Control?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Jeannie and it's about neighbors and pets. Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a dilemma and I need to know if you think I'm the bad guy here because some of my neighbors think I am but I don't. My neighbor next door has a beautiful dog, a sweet golden retriever named Sport. While they have a fenced in backyard, Sport is always digging holes under the fence and coming into my yard to go to the bathroom. I can't stand it, and no matter how many times I've told them, they've never done anything about it. So the last time Sport came over to do his business, I called animal control on him. I couldn't take it anymore. My neighbors' just got a warning, but they are furious with me. And so it seems are some other neighbors on the block. There are a few who agree with me, but most think I took it too far. I'm curious what others think ...

Poles march to defend Pope John Paul II against abuse cover-up allegations

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:49:12 GMT

Thousands of Poles marched through Warsaw and other cities on Sunday to show their support for the late Pope John Paul II in the face of what they said were false allegations that he concealed child abuse in the Catholic Church.The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which faces a tough election later this year, and other religious conservatives have said any calls to re-examine his legacy amount to a plot to discredit the nation's biggest moral authority.That argument resonates strongly with many older Poles who were inspired by John Paul to stand up to Communism in the 1970s and '80s, although church attendance has been falling in the decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989."I felt the need to show my connection with (the pope's) teaching," said Donata Pronczuk, a retired teacher, who came to Warsaw from the northern city of Koszalin for the march, which marked the 18th anniversary of the pope's death."John Paul II did nothing wrong. Any charges against him are false and...
