This isn't about cats but may be moved anyway - wasn't entirely sure where to post it.
There is a dog that lives a couple of streets back from us that just barks and barks and barks, incessantly. Starts about 7pm and goes for hours.
I really feel for the poor baby - his family are obviously never home and do not realise this is a problem. I don't know whether to call the ranger to alert this family to the situation, go around there and throw some toys and a bone over the fence to give this poor lonely pup something to do, approach the people myself (I would leave them a letter - not approach directly)
The thing that concerns me is that if they are the kind of people who neglect their dog so badly any pointing out of the situation may lead to them punishing the dog for it's behaviour.
Of course, they may not realise and be grateful for having it pointed out to them, but I just don't know. It's a very loud, annoying, persistent bark, and I'm afraid someone is going to bait this dog.
I don't know what to do and I feel very unhappy for the poor thing.
Any advice?
