I dont understand what it takes to be sooo uncaring or even cruel to an animal. Our next door neighbor leaves his dog Princess outside all the time...she doesnt go inside anymore. no one comes outside to play with her, and she doesnt have any shelter. When her breed goes into the shelters down here, they put them down. almost without trying to find another home. She is a sweetheart to say the least...and quite a big whimp. She is an odd breed tho, wish we had the room inside our home to keep her. makes me almost cry when I go out to get into my van.
