We've one of those on our street as well. Got a very large breed of dog as a pup. And do nothing with him. He's out in the front yard alone all day. Barks at people walking by. If he wanted he could easily launch himself over the fence they have. No collar. No tags on him. Wife was happy when the last dog they had died, so why the husband went and got a LARGE puppy of all things is beyond the rest of their neighbors and I. And they left their last dog outside 24/7 in all types of weather too. Animal Control here has "better things to deal with" so no one bothers calling.

I was speaking with the guy a few weeks ago and he says the dogs getting more and more aggressive to him and the family etc. So he's going to "shore up the fence in the back yard" and put the poor thing out back. Where he'll have NO people to see at all. Granted at least then the rest of us wont be able to smell the piles of dog shit they never clean up. Even my bitch of a sister took their dog to obedience classes and all that. People that get a dog and then do nothing with it are a holes.
