No because I would NEVER be in this situation. I love animals too much to put any of them in a situation like this. Even if Major was my dog and a sibling wanted to keep him, but my mom wouldn't let him in the house I would call the SPCA myself when they were not around. I'm not attacking you. I'm just trying to make you see what I HAVE seen, which is a dog outside in the bitter could with a homemade built doghouse. The doghouse my neighbors built was really nice if the dog didn't live in it all the time. It wasn't heated and the dog lived on a cable much like Major. How are you going to feel when it's one of those nights that's so cold that you can't warm up under your blanket in your bed and you have to think Major is outside. Your mom is not going to let an untrained muddy dog in the house in the winter. It's that simple. If you love him, then you have to think of what is truly best for him.
