Beware of neighbor. I have no use for anyone who would leave their dog outside to freeze to death,never mind exposing children to that horror. That's how they grow up
thinking "Oh, it's just a dog..." Your dogs may love kids, and so do you, but I agree with everyone's above comments. Just watch-before long you will see another "victim" chained up in their yard. I wouldn't encourage too much interaction with them.

It is unfortunate that far too often, people treat their dogs like property so they leave them outside exposed to the elements and then wonder why they froze to death.

The pups were outside playing yesterday and the kids dad came over and asked if they could take Angel to the grocery store with them. I was like uhmmmmm. No. *confused face* who does that? We're watching our puppies like hawks, well more than a hawk since they were grabbed from our yard, whatever that would be, and locking up everything we own.

wow, nonchalantly, really. So many variable and awful things could happen under your own watch. Not going to happen.:no:

I wouldn't either. Really, why would a dog be outside overnight or outside unsupervised?? I panic if I can't see them in the yard! I think rules like that saves everyone the trouble of having to mind their neighbors business.

You're right. And no one can complain about their neighbors dogs for any reason.

Oh heck no! That is pure cruelty. Even if I could try to make sense of that situation, there is no excuse of leaving any animal in extreme conditions. Unless in a temperature controlled kennel, I don't understand why someone would leave their fur babies out in striking heat or cold weather conditions. I recently visited our local animal shelter, and it was such as a sad thing to see. I wanted to adopt them all :(. Losing my 2 babies for less than a week opened my eyes. Now I am on the lookout for any animal that is on the loose. I am part of a local Facebook community that helps spread the word on lost or strayed animals in our area. I don't know if I could foster them cause I would keep all of them, lol.

Guard your babies closely. I understand the children might want to play with them, but make sure the neighbor understands that your babies are like humans, and that you guard them with your life. This way, he won't be tempted to ask dumb questions in the future.

Maybe he wanted to try the other side of the extremes, see if he could leave the dog in a hot car with the windows up while he shopped.

I don't know what the right word for them might be (careless an ignorant cone to mind, but do no justice) but I would bolt down the lawn furniture and keep an eye on the neighbors.

Your new neighbours would scare me to death! I would not trust them at all. How can you not bring a dog in from the cold (or heat)?

Oh my, this breaks my heart! That is so sad to hear. Some people just are not fit to be pet owners.... and to tell your daughter how the dog died, and she says it like that must have really traumatized her. Oh poor girl, I want to hug her :(

I completely agree! We have been neighborless for so long I was excited to have someone next door that wasn't in their 70's to talk to, and they're extreme redneck crazy people. *sigh* we've been locking our cars (yeah, we used to leave them unlocked all. the. time no wallets or keys in the cars though), we replaced our junk door on our building with the mower and all my husband's man supplies lol, and no more emergency key everything of any value is locked up. =/

oh hell to the NO. I just read this thread. Are people really serious? You should ask to borrow one of their kids. See what they say, but from what you've said - they may actually let you - cray cray. Even though we live in TX, we're both born & raised in NY - so we don't take security lightly. We have an extensive alarm, with cameras, and like a true Texan (guns) etc. No one is messing with us or my bully.

Oh no the poor boxer stuff like this infuriates me!! I always wonder why people bother having dogs if their just going to leave them outside all time! Why not bring the poor little thing in and let it sleep in the kitchen! Some people shouldn't be allowed pets
