Oh boy, I must have touched a nerve with people who tie their dogs up unsupervised....
First, I don't have a "law". I prefaced my remark with "JMHO." If you need a grown up to explain to you what that means just let me know. I'm wholly against dogs being tased or otherwise abused. That's exactly why I don't understand why somebody would tie them up and leave them in their yard at the mercy of the weather and any moron who walks by.
By your amazing logic, kids shouldn’t be allowed to play in the backyard unsupervised because they might be kidnapped.
