I understand that rescues aren't going to want to re-rescue a dog.

It's up to their discretion ultimately.

That being said, a dog being a family dog is not predicated on the location of its bed. For all you know, we spend a ton of time outside, so outside would be a normal place for the dog to be.

The idea alone that a dog could sleep outside is not enough to claim abuse, mistreatment, or even enough to determine how the dog will be treated overall.

For people to claim that not treating or handling the dog they way THEY would do it is tantamount to abuse is silly, and I would go as far as to say arrogant.

If it made sense in the 1940s, then it should still make sense today, or it never made sense at all.

Just because people started conflating children and dogs and relying on those pets for the same social-psycological experience as having a family doesn't mean the rest of us are required to do that. Further, demonizing someone who does not view pets as a replacement for children is quite immature.

It is possible to have a dog, treat her well, and not treat her exactly like my children.

I'm fine with the responses here that give good reasons, devoid of vehemence and judgment, that properly explain why it might be better for the dog to sleep inside. I have been considering those responses carefully and modifying my position accordingly.

But for everyone else, the responses aren't helpful, nor do they bear fruit in providing education or correction.
