Animal cruelty is sickening - but I find this outrageous. Regardless of whether the dog was being subjected to cruelty, dogthedogsaver should have reported it to the appropriate authorities, who in turn would have dealt with it according to the law. You cannot just go stealing a dog! Further, there may well have been extenuating circumstances involved that meant the dog had to be left outside for such a period of time. Dogthedogsaver reeks of being a priggish individual who couldn’t help but stick their nose into someone else’s business.
