canine separation anxiety (kind of sad)

The people two doors down left this young dog (pit bull?) chained up in an unsecured back yard for quite some time, while some serious storms were heading toward the area.

I initially thought the yammering sounds were the kids out there making weird noises, but after 15 or 20 minutes I finally got off my ass to see what the heck was going on, only to see the dog out their alone, chained up in an unsecured yard, whining pitifully for company.

This dog is part penguin and part hyena, I swear.

It was at amusing at first, then annoying, because the owners weren't coming out to deal with the dog, and finally I became concerned for the dog and contacted animal control.

And of course, the owners took the dog back inside the apartment about 5 minutes after I dimed on them. I swear, the losers in this hood all have police scanners.

My neighbors left their dog out once during a huge thunder storm. I tried getting a hold of them but they never answered the door. So I went over there picked him up and took him inside my house. I'm very close with my neighbors and their dog loved me very much so it wasn't a big deal. haha I can't stand seeing animals be left along for looooooong periods of time especially outside.

that is a highly unusual sound for a dog to make.
