I don't think he's not being fed, he's not thin. And I see plenty of dog food cans and boxes in the man's recycle buckets. But even when its nice out, he just seems to spend most of his time alone in the yard. Our dogs sometimes stand at the fence and "visit" with him, but thats the extent of it. And with this cold weather, our dogs are only outside for a few minutes at a time.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "stef481" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Unfortunately, if the dog has shelter (such as a dog house) and is being fed and given water, there's not anything illegal about the situation in most states. It's a horrible reality. I would do what someone else suggested and go talk to the neighbor and see if he can't please, please bring the dog in during cold weather. Even if you do contact the Humane Society or something and they send an animal control officer out, they probably won't be able to take the dog unless he is starving or mistreated physically. Huskies are bred to live outside in the snow and ice so I don't think he can freeze to death. But, to me and most people, it's very cruel to leave a poor dog tied out all alone with nothing to do and no one to be with. I really wish they would change the laws against tying a dog out. I think all dogs belong inside with their families! But, unfortunatley, it's not the reality and it happens a lot, everywhere. :( Stef
