“Too bad the owners think it’s acceptable to keep an aggressive dog chained up outside.”

Because running around the neighborhood is a more acceptable option?

No, they have a responsibility to keep the dog confined. Period. Was your question really a serious question?

My neighbor lets her Basset hound roam the neighborhood, but that dog is so slow, the urge to lick himself goes away before he gets around to finding what needed licked to begin with.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I was under the impression that a third option (keeping the dog inside where pets belong) was available. Either that or euthanasia. Responsible dog owners don’t put their dogs in situations where they are sure to fail.

Umm..I have an idea..how about not chaining the dog and actually letting him inside their home? Dogs do not want to be chained and it’s proven dogs chained become aggressive. How would you like to be chained to a tree all of your life with kids throwing rocks at you? They are lonely, sad, and just want to be inside the house with their family!
