Steven Bob you do not have to be happy when you are not happy, but I ask God to bring you peace right now and show you the way to deal with irritating noise .I command this dog stop right in the name of Jesus, amen. Sometimes you think is the dog or people, when is actually the Devil attacking you, he doesn't like you being in peace. The Devil can attack you from inside or outside .From outside he is using dogs , people, from inside prolonging your irritation by keeping you focused on the things which irritate you, making you to think constantly about it, it is torture. That is why God tell us that we wrestle against the principalities of darkness, who only use people and dogs and hide behind them. You can switch your attention to Godly things ,like put some christian music. I hope this helps .May God continue to help you with that, IJNA.
