Dogs are pack animals.
When you bring a dog into your family, you become that dog's pack.
Forcing a dog to sleep outside away from his pack, alone, is inhumane. An "outside" dog is a suffering dog, with very few exceptions.
A dog chained up outside has no quality of life. The mental abuse he endures is unconscionable.
Have some compassion. If you can't give your dog the love and humanity he deserves, then give him to someone who will.

I'm glad you said with few exceptions. I know there are some exceptions. But you are right, most dogs are not meant to be outside all the time. And no dog is meant to be outside alone.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of good articles here and it seems this new site is only a month old. That is very cool.
My neighbors have a dog that is tied out all the time. It's sickening.
