I do not agree with it. At all. Of course, letting the dog's out here and there for a few minutes, or for an hour or something is perfectly fine. If the weather is okay, and their's shelter/water and the works. But honestly, if the dog is going to be out their ALL the time, it bothers me.

It bother's me more, when someone's dog is an inside dog ALL the time, then all of a sudden turns into an outside dog overnight, to me it's like your throwing a child out of your house for no apparent reason. Sure some people do have good reasons and good intentions, but then their's some people who dont have good intentions, and they just leave the dog out for the heck of it.

In my opinion, leaving a dog outside says "I have a dog for a watchdog, not really because i love it" IF their's no water/food etc.. But of course like i said before, if theirs food/water/shelter and it is absolutley necessary then you have to do what you have to do.

Recently the house behind me, has been leaving their dog outside. The last time, it was all day, and all night plus all of the next day, and when i came home from school he was already inside. Now as i look out my window, i notice he's out their again, and will probably be there till tomorrow evening. I don't know their story, but i feel bad for him.. It just was pouring rain and still they haven't brought him in. And i have looked for food/water bowls but found nothing. The only shelter they have is a tiny little deck that holds about 3 chairs.

I think some people may say that i shouldn't be saying anything, because Cali (My cat) is an outdoor cat. But thats a different story because she sleeps in the garage at night, she has shelter, food and water, and she roams around as she pleases outside during the day. Of course, it's all up to her whether she wants in or out, but normally she's inside when we leave for school and work.

So back to the original question, im totally against it.
