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.
