Dear Queenie,
A friend of my wife has a dog, but she doesn’t take good care of it. She feeds it well and plays with it when she is at home, but it is not housebroken and she lives in an apartment so she doesn’t have a yard where she can leave it out all day, so the dog stays cooped up in a crate while she is at work. It barks a lot, so she puts a muzzle on it.
I have suggested that she should spend more time with the dog and try to get it properly trained, but I was just told to mind my own business.
Queenie, is there anything more I can do?—Animal lover
Dear Animal lover,
This could be classified as animal abuse. Make a report to the local humane society.
