"Again it’s one thing if circumstances necessitate the dog outside unwatched, but another if they’re doing it all the time."

I just have to go through a whole lot of surreal, mental contortions to come up with a set of circumstances that would make tying my dog up outside, unsupervised the best option on a single day, much less every day.

You NEVER KNOW what may be happening at any given time. Hole blown through the house, have to leave. Can’t get back in the house. 9/11. Other crises more important than the dog right now.

Judgement of people is needed on a case-by-case basis. Generally yes you wouldn’t do that, but sometimes things happen.
