Life The Neighbors Dog - Page 2

My neighbors have a Shorty Bulldog that is being neglected terribly. He's left out all day. Even though they have a doggie door. His yard is basically a cement slab patio. No grass. He has some skin condition where most of his coat is thin or gone all together. They do provide him some shelter with a wire dog crate but it really provides no shade.

Now the last week or so I've gone over to check on him. That's when my fiance and I noticed how bad his coat is. We are both dog lovers, we have 2 pugs and a mutt I got from the pound. She works as a Vet Tech and sees this kinda of thing everyday. Me I just get upset because in my limited interaction with the dog he seems like a great dog in need of someone to care for and interact with him.

Now should I just report them to the ASPCA or talk to them? I think I could convince my fiance to take him on if that's possible. I know there are rescue organizations out there that deal with specific breeds. So I could let them know about those.

The least this dog needs is to be taken to the Vet to be checked out.

Oh the other day I hear this woman yelling "GET AWAY!!!" "GO HOME!!" "GET OUT OF HERE" and so I look out the window and I see the dog in out of his yard. I go out and get him to come with me to his house. I let the owner know their dog was out. She thanks me and says it must've been the babysitter who left the gate open. All while the dog is just jumping around happy because someone is paying attention to him. As I leave I hear the woman shout "SIT, DOWN, SIT" etc. then the door close to the
house.

This is what the dog kinda looks like.

Funny how the big dogs always think that, eh?

Pretty much. All my big dogs have even liked cats. Birds, on the other hand...

You might want to just try and get to know your neighbors a little better in order to find out why they are treating the dog this way. Try to get the whole story, perhaps theres other issues and the dog is just being ignored.

Heh, our Chihuahua only gets on my lap when he wants food and pretty much hates our cats. You'd think it would be the other way around.

The dachsund humps the cat, kills and eats the gophers...and then wants to be nose-to-nose with you on the couch with the nastiest breath imaginable.
