The shocking reason this couple and their dog are causing controversy at Westpac bank!

They say that a clean environment can increase productivity and contribute to a relaxing atmosphere.

But for the staff and customers of a Westpac bank branch in Noosa Heads, Queensland, the beginning of the week was met with an all-too-unwelcome surprise.


An unassuming local had to do a double take when she spotted movement coming from inside the bank’s ATM enclosure on one Saturday night.

Taking out her phone, she captured a video, which soon made the rounds.

The clip showed a pet sniffing its freshly laid excrement on a white floor. To make matters worse, the couple responsible for the dog allegedly made no attempt to wipe up after their furry companion.

'Little appreciation post to this couple who let their dog take a dump on the Westpac floor last night and did not clean it up… We were all watching,' the local wrote online.

The now-deleted footage unsurprisingly sparked plenty of reaction.

One resident claimed, ‘Yes, the poo was still there this morning, I almost stepped in it.

While others jokingly asked if the couple were unhappy with their home loan rate.


The incident comes after a Sydney man was caught on CCTV in February pretending to pick up his pet’s waste but instead left it on his neighbour's lawn.

Such behaviour has also seen some neighbourhoods fight back with creative tactics, such as making handmade signs to remind careless pet owners of their duties.

Locals of cities like Melbourne and Adelaide have dealt with similar problems despite public outcry and the threat of hefty fines.


Westpac representatives have yet to provide an immediate comment on the incident.
