To Whomsoever It May Concern,

I begin by offering my profuse and unconditional apology.

It has been brought to our attention that our dogs, much like spirited children, in
the absence of adult supervision, have been getting into mischief which has caused undue
inconvenience to you. We, including the dogs, strive to live inconspicuously and in peace
and quiet. And it is in this regard that I humbly request your kind understanding and
cooperation.
The dogs are well trained and well behaved. However, given their innate nature
and instinct, they get alert and protective when they notice activity outside which they
deem to be suspicious [such as delivery guys, the housekeeping staff, people inducing the
child to eat its food while diverting its attention by pointing at the dogs, the apartment
behind our flat where strays come to sleep, the constant movement of two wheelers being
parked and moved loudly]. While our dogs generally ignore most of these activities,
sometimes, especially in our absence, they howl and bark as dogs do to inform us. You
may have well noted that this does not occur on a regular basis. On the rare occasions that
this transpires, takes place when sudden work arises which needs to be attended to
without giving us enough time to plan, prepare and inform our dogs about the same.
We, to our best efforts try and see that our dogs, much like young children, are not
left unattended for any period of time. Nevertheless, there do arise some unavoidable
situations leading to your inconvenience. And for that I once again offer my profuse and
unconditional apology and humbly seek your understanding in this regard.
Regards,
