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.
