Teaching children about kindness & compassion for animals can
never start to early in my view. Who knows, they might not ever
have gotten these lessons at home.

"I hate it when I see a dog chained up outside. I know it's none of my business, but I keep an eye on my neighbors dog all the time--they put him out quite often, and I always watch the clock and make sure he isn't out there for hours. I know he really hates it too. Sometimes I will go out and play with him, or call them and bring him over to play in our backyard. "

Oh, but I think it is our business to speak up for the dogs who
are victims of severe neglect & abuse, as Judith was. If it wasn't
for neighbors calling again & again to complain to the SPCA, she
might have died just right where she was and never known the
loving touch of kindness from any human beings.

I'm glad you do watchout for your neighbor's dog.
