We've the same problem here in Baltimore. A neighbor has a dog in a smaller cage then that shown here. It only gets watered/fed once in the morning. That's supposed to last all day. Meanwhile the parents are working and the two teenaged boys sit at the game cube the entire day. Feeding and watering seem to be an inconvenience to them. I wish I could set him free. Maybe being hit by a car would put him in a better place. They have two other dogs that get to spend time inside, get food, water, and play time. I've seen this poor thing get karate chopped, stones thrown at him, and yelled at by all 4 living there. But--when I ask about its welfare, I'm told to mind my fucking business! Tomorrow I will call the ASPCA; something I should have done yesterday! peace I agree. We’ve the same problem here in Baltimore. A neighbor has a dog in a smaller cage then that shown here.

I live in an urban area of KC with two dogs. I always make sure they get nice walks in the morning and night after being inside while I am at work. What is frustrating is that many of my neighbors have dogs fenced or chained up during the day and their owners are constantly yelling at them to quit barking and calm down. WELL no wonder!! All they want is to be released from its makeshift prison. Very very sad indeed. But I agree with Boggy Woggy..AT Least this dog did have food and water. Some owners don't go even that far. I agree..

The photos make me feel sad, too, being that we have 3 huge dogs and live outside of town, where they get to roam across fields and hunt voles. However, I guess I'm glad to see that the dog has shelter, food, and water...and won't get hit by any cars. It's such a balancing act, isn't it? Hello, Fellow Corvallisite!

What is the point of having a dog (which is a *companion animal* for crying out loud!!!) if you're going to stick it out in a cage and listen to it bark all day? My neighbors wound up moving--is this a possibility for you? Also, Michigan "laws" were not that great, I called the police and the only thing that they would do is ticket for barking--as long as the dog had food, shelter and no obvious wounds on his body, there was nothing they could do for the dog. Maybe where you live its different??? you know, I just don’t get people who get dogs and then lock them up in cages out doors or tie them permanently outside. we had a neighbor who was the same sorta folks–only they didn’t have a big cage for their dog, they put him out on a stake and left him out there. and then beat him when he chewed through the rope every two or three months and took off.
