Thanks Carrie, that's kind of what I thought: that alot of these dogs that belong to the homeless have a better life than SOME that belong to people who neglect/abuse their dogs at home.

I have a neighbor that has a blk. lab that he keeps in the back yard (alone) 24/7! He goes back there only to feed the poor thing. He never lets it in the house, never takes it anywhere, does not pay any attention to her. I don't know why he even has a dog! She is a very friendly, nice dog, especially considering her circumstances. I have considered abducting her and finding anew home, but my hubby won't let me.

I guess my point is that this dog would be better off with a homeless person that really loved her. She would have constant companionship and attention.
