We rent a modular home on the back half of the owner's property. Today she called me and asked me to go check on her elderly dog while she is at work until she can get a hold of the vet to have her put down. She is a stranger to me. I try to only have contact with her when I pay the rent or need a repair. I worry that if I tell her no she will make the next 8 months until our lease is up hell. Any suggestions?
What on earth is wrong with you that you can't put the woman's mind at rest during an obviously horribly difficult time and just go check on the old dog without making a production out of it? Good grief.
Watch my dog die until I can get ahold of the vet to deliver the final blow.
Not my take on it at all. The LL had to go to work, is finding a vet to make an appointment and simply asked the tenant to check on the dog. I wouldn't hesitate to do the same for any of my neighbors regardless if our relationship were close or distant and can't even begin to imagine looking at this sort of thing as a quid pro quo.
Is there a reason why you can't look at the dog? She isn't a stranger, she is your landlord in which you rent from. And you don't have to drive or anything right? Just go out your door and check on her dog?
Someone should give you a tenant of the year award. I am sure it took approx 5 times longer to create a city data account and post this question as it would to to check on the dog to ease her mind. You don't have to stay with the dog, just check on it for literally one second and let her know if it's still alive or what not. If you had a problem with your rental or even your dog, I am sure you would appreciate any help from her. I always do easy, small favors for my landlords, karma is a wonderful thing.

If your landlord saw flames shooting out of the top of your home, expect the landlord to simply break out the marshmallows.

It is obviously not required to do such things for your landlord, and I am aware that the situation has likely passed, but I did want to say one thing. It would have been a kindness to check on the dog, both to the landlord and the dog.

I'd say I'm not available or not comfortable. I doubt they'd make your life hell. You are in their property. You could make theirs an equal hell.
The LL asked nothing of the sort.
And making the LLs life a living hell works out do well for a tenant
