Chained dog playing with me

This chained dog is very playful. After I provided him with toys and treats, I jumped the fence to play with him. Thankfully, his owners had provided him with food and water.
4.21.08-I checked on him yesterday and he and his doggie friend are still living outside. I spoke with the owner about a month ago and she didn't seem concerned that they were out there. :(
5.20.08-The dogs are still out there and the owners, even after being educated about the plight of chained dogs, have no interest in bringing them inside. :(

Yes, he is chained all day and night. I pleaded with her for almost 6 months to bring him inside and she refused. There is no law against this in Missouri. He is soooo lonely for attention-he just wants to be inside with the family. I feel sad when I think about him just sitting there in the snow and rain and thunderstorms, etc. This is morally and ethically wrong and the law hasn't caught up yet. Thanks for watching!

awe good job, even if there is nothing that you can do to get him away from his owners, you are doing a great thing by stopping by and playing with him! he has a long chain though and food and water, his owners at least cared about him THAT much. although it's still sad. :(

Thank you! :)

Well done! It is uplifting to see someone giving this dog some play time and company, I'm so glad you tried to educate the 'owners' regarding the sad life of dogs on chains, in chaining their dog they are shutting him/her out of their lives, so why have a dog? Surely a dog is supposed to be the closest companion animal to us, they are mising out and their dog is living a miserable life. Thank you for caring and for making a difference!

He's desperate for attention, probably the first time someone has ever played with him or given him any attention. It's a shame they have him tied up.

Why have a dog and then never interact with it? Not only is it inhumane its just plain daft!

READ THIS.This is a blatant case of animal cruelty and as an ethical human being and a citizen of missouri you have the absolute RIGHT to call your local ASPCA to have them take these poor dogs away to be rehomed where they will be LOVED. Do the right thing; don't say there's nothing you can do.It doesn't make you a good person to post videos of you playing with a chained-up dog.It does, however, make you the best of all people when you can let us know that these people are no longer dog owners.

poor dog it looks like he never gets played with cause of how hyper he is

[roseyplain]

@snoopytjbm um not if it's CHAINED.....he would be healthy if he was free to roam around...and play with other dogs or people...animals need interaction too...you don't get animal so you can chain them outside...that's not healthy for ANY animal...who told you that..

[snoopytjbm]

A properly housed dog outside is far more healthy than an indoor dog. As far as their coat and physic. Your an idiot the dog is fine and well you broke the law jumping a fence.

I love you, for loving this unloved dog. You are such a kind person.

is that a Labrador? why the fuck someone need to chain a dog that super friendly like this one and from what i saw the compound is surrounded with wire fence which is enough to keep the dog confined. sad
