It sounds fishy that the landlord claimed the dog was abandoned but the owner lived there.
He’s probably getting a cut of the profits.
I hate to have to point this out but NEVER leave your dog outside, unattended.
You can’t believe the sheer audacity of some people.
Back in the early 90s, I had to stop taking my ever-present beloved Ibizan with me wherever I went because people were breaking out car windows and stealing dogs.
Nobody knew whether it was for dog fight training or lab experiment profit but either way, *my* girl sure wasn’t gonna find out.
It broke her heart that she had to stay home instead of always being with me but I got to have her with me until she died at 13.
A lot of local dog owners weren’t that lucky.
