The poor dog next door

My neighbors have never treated their dog, Kasha, well. She’s a very sweet Lab and my mom and I give her dog cookies when we see her. I have never gotten the impression that the family feeds her but she’s gotta be 10 by now, so I suppose they do.

They never let her in the house. She has a garage-type thing that she can go into for shelter though.

However, today she’s penned in to an area that’s about 6 feet by 3 feet. She has no food or water out for her. It’s been raining a bit. No one is home. And she’s been whimpering on and off (mostly on, off when I’ve gone to see what was wrong) for the last hour. And it’s breaking my heart to hear it!

So I’ve called the damn police! I can’t let this go unreported. The officer gave me the number of the ASPCA and I left them a message, I hope they get back to me soon. I just really hope something gets done, because the sound of her carrying on is making me so sad. :frowning:

You did the right thing! No animal should ever be treated like that. Poor thing. Why do people have pets and then don’t love them?

Good for you, saramamlana. You absolutely did the right thing.

People like that don’t deserve a dog or its unconditional love.
Good for you!
