Thanks so much for your kind response, OP. I think I might have been a little harsh in some of my comments to you. Your kind response to my comments is humbling, and really touches my soul, thank you for your empathy, because I feel like you understand.
I get especially annoyed with people who keep their dogs chained up in their front yards. I know putting up a fence and building or purchasing a proper doghouse isn't necessarily cheap, but it's an absolute necessity if they aren't going to keep the dog dog strictly indoors. Chaining dogs up is the cheap, lazy, selfish and cruel sort of dog ownership. Ugh, and the people who approach dog ownership in such a way have the nerve and audacity to resent it when they get called trash.
I think when a dog has a proper fenced in yard it still needs to be taken for walks, played with, trained in basic obedience and given the opportunity to spend quality time in the house relaxing with the family. Dogs are pack animals, and they need to be with their pack. It's like when people say they don't wash their cats, because cats don't like water. I've got allergies and I started washing my cat and trimming his nails when he was a baby, and now it's easy.
One of the wonderful things about pet ownership is that you get out of it what you put into it which is alot better than than any other investment you can make.
I want to ban people from getting dogs. No dogs allowed
