Life Sentence, No
Parole
If
we tried to invent the cruelest punishment for dogs, we probably
couldn't come up with anything worse than "solitary confinement"
on a chain or in a kennel.
Dogs
are pack animals who crave the companionship of others.
Scratches behind the ears, games of fetch, or even just walks
around the block mean the world to them. Curling up at your
feet while you watch TV is their idea of heaven.
Many
dogs left to fend for themselves at the end of a chain fall prey
to attacks by other animals or cruel people, and many others are
injured or hanged or choke as a result of getting entangled or
caught in their tether.
If
you have a backyard dog, please, bring him or her inside. They
don't want much--just you.
