Had the cops show up at my house today. Seems someone called in to say that we had our beagle puppy(around 6 months) tied up in our yard all day without shade or water(he was inside the majority of the day)!!! Not sure, they may have said it happens alot...he does spend lots of time outside, we have 2 kids and the dog can get excited.
Mind you his cable is set so that he can go under the deck for shade, and there is a big old pail of water there too.
What really got me was it wasn't even hot today, maybe 80 with a nice breeze and the dog just lays out and naps in the sun.
What the F, really I wish I knew who called me in....hope they don't see me when the dog gets snippy and ends up meeting my hand on his snout.
Am I right in being pissed? Chit it's not like I leave the hound outside all day in the blazing heat with no food or water for weeks on end. Also maybe this friendly neighbor would like to see what a beagle is like when he is kept inside a house all day long.
