Would anyone here leave their beloved pet chained up in the yard at night?

Yes - it is very sad for the dog - but I think there is more to this story than meets the eye (or the news article).

That's exactly what my mom said when I brought it up. She asked why a family pet would be chained outside if it was so loved. I feel horrible for the dog but no beloved family member would be left chained outside in the dark by itself. Both, the dog being shot and the dog being chained outside disgust me.
