So! If you can't afford a fence, you can't have a dog.

Not all dogs are left on chains day and night; Most are put out for fresh air and sunshine, for limited periods, while their owners are at work.

Sadly,
in this neck o' the woods,
If you see a dog on a chain, odds are, that is is whole life.

And he probably never gets let off of it either.

If you see a pit, rottie or dobie on a chain, odds are even greater he's getting even worse treatment. But that is just my cultural observations from conversations.

Owners??? Off to indoctrination camp with you! They're "animal guardians" now (or some such nonsense.)
