I walk by a house almost daily where they have four dogs, always chained.
Yes, it's cruel and stupid but let's save that conversation for some other time.
They bark their heads off at any and everything. People say they are "agressive and dangerous". I always stop for pets and affection. No barks, no bites, no growling. I risk I have more respect from the dogs than the idiots living in that house.
Hopefully, nothing unfortunately will happen. The dogs are big and the people small.
The dogs should unionise
And eat their ruling class
