I have two possibilities to suggest. First, maybe Neal worried Blue might run off and alert someone and consequently be able to track Neal down; Neal figured it was better to keep Blue nearby to keep the situation entirely under his control.
Or, second, since Blue had "helped" Neal previously and seemed to favor him over Andy and Barn, maybe Neal thought Blue would continue to watch them and let Neal know if they tried to escape. Of course, it's hard to say what goes on in the mind of a hardened criminal. -a deceitful wretch hiding out in Oxford, Ohio (the Nashville of the North) In the episode where Barney and Andy are hunting the infamous Ralph Neal, > Barney has been training a dog called Blue.
