I was direct to get my point across but I didn't want to escalate and have him take it out on the dog. Who knows of that's a possibility. If they do in fact keep it out, contacting animal control during business hours will be the best step. Worcester police are not the greatest on following up, and the dog is very clearly on private property and not accessible. It IS a business, so my hope is that my statements will instigate enough paranoia that they will take it seriously.

So I'm outside. I initially didn't see the dog and went in. I asked the owner if they had a dog, and the owner asked why. I asked if they were leaving the dog outside over night. He stated he had not. I explained multiple neighbors are concerned about the dog and have seen it outside in the rain without food. He admitted he left it out one night with food. I told him a neighbor had already spoken with the police and his community was keeping track of if he is caring for the dog and that leaving it outside overnight was unacceptable and his neighbors would be monitoring. I left before I got heated. The dog was outside next to the building when I went out and it looked ok. They quickly opened the side door and let the dog in. It did look chonky. The area is surrounded by chain link fence with cameras.

I'll swing back tonight and see if they left it out. I get real upset about shit like this. Thanks for looking out for the pupper.

I also live near main South and can stop by in a little bit
