Don't know if I am being incredibly precious but this is really starting to bother me. My next door neighbour but one has a young, large Alsatian which is left out in their (small) garden around the clock and never walked. Am not entirely sure whether it slept outside during the recent very cold weather but it certainly has slept outside for the past month or so. It's fed and watered but that's about it, as far as I can work out. Dog hasn't shown any obvious signs of aggression that I have noticed but prone to barking loudly at any activity in the neighbouring gardens and whining to be let in. I have a 2-year old dd who plays in the garden a lot and is scared of the dog and next door (bordering their garden) are about to have a baby. The owner has told me a previous dog he had bit a child but that it was the child's fault for goading the animal (???).I don't want to over-react because don't have any evidence of abuse and I like dogs but the fact the dog is never walked bothers me and I worry that it may have a freak out one day and charge over the fence into our garden. Any advice?
