Not at home for long periods of time. That is not a life for creature.

We rescued a basset who spent the first part of his life chained to a tree with very little food. When he was rescued he was covered with deer ticks and very very skinny. Apparently his previous owners chained him up because he was digging up their yard. After we adopted him he did indeed have some digging problems. We found some very effective techniques to stop my new dog from digging He no longer is destroying our yard and of course he is not chained up.

There's a poor dog that's chained up night and day 365 days a year. I can't remember a day when the dog wasn't out there. Plus, I live in Wisconsin so it can get brutally cold outside in the winter. But my wife and I always feel bad for it because the poor dog couldn't run around and play if it wanted to. They should get some type of <a href="http://www.cjpetsupplies.com/page/electronicdogfences" rel="nofollow">dog fence<a>. I totally agree with this article.

This is so important. Most people don't even stop to think about what effect chaining their dog may have. Thanks for getting the word out. May I repost this on my blog? Great Post!

Unfortunately people just can't seem to get it through their heads that dogs are meant to be family members. Hopefully laws will be passed that can end the suffering of chained dogs, and allow them to live the social lives that they crave and deserve! I get so angry when I find out about a chained dog.

A dog drowned after it was chained to a stake and left outside during the storm Sunday night.

It happened in Frame in Kanawha County.

A volunteer firefighter tells WSAZ.com that the dog was always chained and left alone. It does have a doghouse but she says the dog did not fit inside.

For several weeks, she’s complained to the homeowner and the Humane Society but has been ignored.

When flash floods hit overnight the dog was left to fend for itself. The water took over the homeowner’s backyard and since the dog was chained and could not escape, it drowned.

The homeowner says he didn’t realize it was going to rain that night and he didn’t know there was a flood warning.

The Humane Society does not plan to press charges.

Pretty sad…
