SWAT Came for a California Woman’s Neighbor. The Wife Asked Her to Put the Pomeranians Away. She Was Not Prepared for All the Dogs in the House.

Having good neighbors is a privilege that not everyone has. While there are definitely stories online about neighbors from hell, Wendy Mak (@wendyymak), who’s from California, recalled that time SWAT went into the house next door. After helping out as a good neighbor, the wild events of that night left her in shock.

“I have crazy neighbors,” Mak said at the start of the video. Although she claimed that everything in it was factual, she did not name anyone in the story.

At the beginning, she immediately explained that her neighbor had SWAT called on them before. To add to the mess, one of their son’s friends lit a stick of dynamite, tried to put it out in the house sink, and it blew up. Mak’s point is that the neighbors and the company they keep are dubious.

One night, the neighboring wife called Mak on the phone. She was at the airport, while Mak was at her dad’s house for dinner. Mak was twenty minutes away.

“My husband’s drunk. I’m watching him on the cameras. He’s got all my doors open—the garage door’s open—and all my dogs are out,” the wife told Mak.

Mak said that the wife breeds Pomeranians. She expected the house to have lots of dogs. Her neighbor had called Mak for help, distraught that her animals would get out of the house. Mak agreed to help close the neighbor’s doors but decided to call her mother first.

Mak’s mother lived eight minutes away from her, which makes her nearer the neighbor’s house. Without hesitation, Mak’s mother went and helped with the neighbor’s house.

Although they were “crazy,” as Mak would put it, her neighbors were good to her. They also tend to look out for her as well. None of them were prepared for what was inside their neighbor’s house.

A mad house

“Oh my god, it’s too crazy! I can’t talk right now,” Mak recalled her mother’s words. She would understand what her mother meant when she got to the house. There, her mother was trying to frantically shove the Pomeranians into the house. The wife’s husband, meanwhile, did nothing to help. Instead, he seemed to be drunkenly talking to her.

“Why don’t you live in this block anymore? You’re so pretty; I would be so good to you,” the drunken husband said. Mak’s mother wasn’t having any of it and told the man to get some water and go to bed.

She ended up having to chase three Pomeranians down the road, putting them back in the house. But the house itself had a ton of other dogs that were freaking out. Mak thought her mother was finally able to resolve the issue with the neighbor when she arrived. But thirty minutes after she arrived, the man was outside again, yelling, smashing beer bottles, and going in and out of the house. Every time, he left the doors open.

At this point, Mak was keeping an eye out on the man. Then, she heard helicopter noise from above. Her neighbor, who seemed to be under the influence, started cussing the helicopter out in the sky.

Then, her mom makes another phone call. The drunk man was about to be visited by SWAT again.

Mak ran into the next-door neighbor’s house. SWAT just arrived, and the drunk man was just taken into the police cruiser. She told the sheriff she just wanted to close the house up, and they agreed.

As a good neighbor, Mak informed the wife that her husband just got arrested. She agreed to Mak closing her house up and even asked her to put the dogs away.

“Oh my god, what did I just get myself into?” she thought at the time. But when she went to close the door, she saw eight Pomeranians sitting by the door. The neighbor asked Mak to place them all in the backyard.

Things spiral after SWAT

When she opened the door, she found out that the house was in disarray. There was shattered glass everywhere. But the best way to bring all of the dogs into the backyard was by traversing through the house’s backdoor, so Mak corralled them into going to the back.

But the dogs never seemed to stop coming, so she had to ask her neighbor an important question.

“How many pomeranians do you have?” Mak asked as she was shuttling the dogs into the backyard.

“I don’t know,” the woman shockingly responded. Mak said she put fifteen in the lady’s backyard, but she claimed that she didn’t have that many. But then, the neighbor informed her about the bedroom door. It also needed to be closed since it leads to the backyard, which can cause the dogs to go back in.

Mak went around the house and tried closing it by going to the backyard. But there was another problem. Her neighbor owned one Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd.

“Are the big dogs here?” She confirmed with the lady, and she simply told Mak that she didn’t know. The neighbor also couldn’t confirm whether or not they bite strangers. Regardless, Mak went through with the plan to go into the backyard.

She was just looking out into the yard, and then the Belgian Malinois started sprinting towards her. Mak did not bolt away. Instead, she stood there, shaking on the phone with her neighbor.

“Is he going to bite me? Is he going to bite me?” Mak said in panic, but the neighbor said no. Thankfully, it didn’t chase her—she just started putting each and every Pomeranian at the back before she was finally able to slam the door.

Then a fire started at the house

Just when she thought the chaos was finally over, the neighbor, who was watching everything through the CCTV, said that her husband might have started a fire in the kitchen. Mak went in, and true enough, there was a towel left on top of the electric stove that had been burnt to a crisp.

She turned the stove off, and just before she thought the job was done, she saw two big bird cages.

“Do you have birds?” Mak asked, as they were empty. The woman confirmed it, but they seem to have gotten away. Thankfully, her neighbor didn’t ask her to go on the hunt for the birds.

“That was my night. I hope I’m a good neighbor,” Mak ended with that. Is it worth all that to be a good neighbor, though? Other people online could only hope to have someone like her in their community.
