I do admit a good professional kennel is acceptable. Most people not big into dogs don’t get real good kennels.

Otherwise, dogs shouldn’t be kept outside. It’s not just for their safety, but for the rest of society too.

What amazes me are the people here who are adamantly arguing that it's ok to leave a dog tied up unsupervised...

...I suspect some of them simply have out of control dogs they can't trust in the house or aren't willing to dedicate a proper amount of time to and are simply trying to defend their own irresponsibility.
