Absolutely heartbreaking... I really hate living in the south sometimes because of the way animals are treated here. A completely different mindset... It kills me ; (
So sad and true. It sickens me that people still do this. In the cooler months we would let our ridgebacks hang out back as much as they wanted but they were never chained up and always had toys to play with and shaded areas to lie in, fresh water and a nice misting system around the patio to make it even cooler for them.
This was very sad!. I get a lump in my throat. Our dog is put in or big yard but he is not chained up. He stays out for awhile he comes to the back door, we bring him in and love him up, and he eats and drinks and gets his treats. We love our dog!. I couldn't imagine.
I would love to be able to set all the dogs loose that we see in back yards tied to chains. They were cute when they were puppies, and then they grow up and their so called human friends don't want to spend time with them anymore. They should never be allowed to have a dog.
