Dogs aren't just cuddle buddies. They are excellent protectors.

Since canines are incredibly loyal creatures, they can forge deep bonds with their owners. No matter how big or small a threat is, dogs will do everything in their power to protect their territory and their family.

They are the best companions through thick and thin. Moreover, it is part of their instinct to be protective.

Their senses are more enhanced than humans in terms of smelling and hearing. They can smell even the faintest of scents and hear sounds that our ears can't.

They can detect threats even from a distance. That's how amazing they are as protectors of homes.

So it's only natural for a dog to chase chickens, especially when they reach the canine's territory. This story is about a Redditor's dogs that went after a neighbor's chicken.

The original poster (OP), whose username is Rissyntax_v2, wanted to be judged by the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA). Her neighbor claimed that her dogs attacked the chicken and died.

But when the OP's mom rescued the chicken, it was fine. It didn't have any injuries.

After the incident, the OP's mom got upset over the dogs' actions. But the OP defended the dogs, saying it was the chicken's fault.

Her mom didn't like what she said and warned her not to say the same thing to the neighbor.

A dog owner believes that her dogs aren't at fault.

She tells the community that her dogs are unleashed within their fenced yard.

Kids would enter their yard without permission. Other animals tend to get in too.

The OP's dogs chased a neighbor's chicken.

It's clear whose fault it is, but her mom didn't like it when she said that it's not the fault of the dogs.

It's the neighbors who need to take responsibility for keeping their animals within their property.

The dogs are within their territory, so it's not their fault.

Some Redditors made the conversation light by cracking jokes.

It's all the chicken's fault.

Even if the dogs ended up killing the chicken, it's still not their fault.

The neighbor should know better.

We're pretty sure she's aware that there are dogs in the neighborhood. So why is she letting her chickens roam around?

The dogs were just doing their job as protectors.

This neighbor needs to do something about her chickens if she doesn't want it to happen again.

The the neighbor lets her chickens free to roam, they're bound to be in danger.

The property is fenced. So this will never be on the OP.

Property rights may vary per country. So the OP needs to check her local laws too.

In some country

The dogs are just being dogs.

If the OP chances upon the chicken's owner, maybe she can suggest clipping the chicken's wings.

Chickens can quickly turn into dinner if their owners let them go around freely.

Dogs are loyal creatures, so it's natural for them to attack any trespasser.

The OP can also try putting up a sign that says this.

There a lots of funny and sarcastic signs out there that goes beyond saying "Beware of dog."

The community agrees that it's all the neighbor's fault. She needs to be more responsible by keeping her chickens from getting into her neighbor's yard.

It's either she builds a fence or places all her chickens inside the coop. Animals will prey on her chickens, otherwise.

The dogs be blamed for doing their job.
