If you were in that dogs situation, choose one life ~ on a 3 foot chain, in your own waste, matted, probably very sick, without any real human/animal interaction, going days without food and drinking nasty green water; OR living in a nice, clean kennel without an old rusty chain around your neck, regular medical care, with daily walks and human and dog interaction with the big chance that some one looking for a sweet, laid back older dog will take you into their home and let you live out your life inside their home and in peace. HMMM, tough choice
