Ok,
Here's the situation...
I live in WI and a few weeks ago we had some severe thunderstorms. My husband and I live a block away from my brother-in-law. So, he calls us the night we are having this storm. He told us his next-door-neighbor leaves their dog outside in all weather with no food, water, shelter etc. The poor dog happened to be outside in this weather shivering, and crying. My brother-in-law took the dog out of their fence and brought him into his garage to keep him safe and give him food, etc. (the owners obviously never even noticed he was gone) Well, to make a long story short...when the storm was over the next morning, his wife decided to take the dog back over, without calling the police or the humane society on these people. She told us, she doesn't want to have "any trouble". Now, what would you do???
I have talked to my niece and she said; that the dog belongs to a woman and the woman's daughter (who has disabilities). That they come and go a lot and always leave the dog outdoors. When I was over the other day, I kinda looked around their backyard and did notice 2 dishes but, don't know if they were full. There is a small dog carrier that the dog must go in and a broken down deck. There are about 2 small bushes that he could lie under for shade. They do have a chain-link fence but, I guess the dog is known to jump it. I believe he is a mutt, maybe some black lab, rott., pitbull. I'm not sure but, he is a sweet dog (he's only a pup, about 8 months old) that is just looking for some attention.
I don't know the whole story but, this is what I have gotten so far. I'm not sure if this is even considered abuse but, I go crazy even thinking about leaving him outdoors that day of the storm!
I hope this made some since, I'm getting pretty tired but, does anyone have advice? Thanks,
TINA
