I don't understand people that tie up their dogs like this. They're just asking for the dog to be taken. And I don't know about you, but I assume people who steal dogs don't steal them to re-home them. So why do people do this? Don't you love your dog? Wouldn't you want to prevent this entirely preventable situation if you love them? Of course, this particular photo has a whole other element of absent mindedness, so I guess they're just plain stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of times, the owner just got told to not bring the dog into wherever they were going.
Rather than coming back, they see no problem Tying up the dog.
Call animal control. crappy dog owners need a wake up call. (Especially in this case. That dog looks close to strangling itself,)
The worst I’ve seen was people going to a baseball game. I was working security for an event lot, they showed up an hour before the game, which probably ran 3 hours or so, and they were a couple hours later coming back.
Sure, they cracked the window! But it was high-nineties with high humidity. And the dogs were crates in the back and covered with heavy blankets. It took some convincing for them to get permission to open it up (the measurable interior was just below the threshold, but with the blankets… well the temp in the crate was 110F.)
Sweetest puppies you’ve ever met, got to sit with them while animal control filed out the paper work.
When they came back they were … not entirely sober and pissed enough the cops had to come back out. Their justification was that they wanted to go to a ball game and couldn’t leave them at home because separation anxiety…
Absentmindedness is a very mild way of saying that they're almost strangling the dog. The poor guy has no room to move. This dog would be coming home with me.
I used to tie my ugly mutt up in front of the corner market while I grab a few things. Never to someone’s bike of course.
I do not take such a risk with my expensive purebred.
Please tell me you're being ironic.
please
I didn’t own both dogs at the same time, but 100% serious. What’s the problem?
You don't see an issue in handling a dog poorly, because, as you put it, it's an "ugly mutt" and then go ahead and tell us how much better you treat an animal because it was more expensive?
You really shouldn't be allowed to own a dog or any animal.
you are a disgusting person
Why? Because I know which dog might get stolen?
Should I have denied the mutt walks because of what people might think? Or should I endanger the purebred out of some strange sense of fairness?
Without the additional context it easily sounds like you don't give a shit what happens to some mutt.
Nobody was going to steal a grumpy arthritic mutt.
He was a good dog, but not much “curb appeal”.
I see this all the time, don't think it's such a big deal also, sometimes I don't understand social network people
I assume this is a joke. This is comical villain levels of evil.
