| asked a question | Someone leaving dog alone overnight for a month with morning/night feeding/walks. Is this okay? I have a friend of a friend who went out of town for a month, and is leaving his young dog in his apartment alone. He has friends coming by morning and night to feed/walk the dog. He has mentioned the dog has separation anxiety. This doesn't seem right to me -- it seems cruel -- but I'm not sure if that's an overreaction. Not sure yet what I can do, maybe offer to bring the dog to stay with me for the month. I live in a different city. I'm wondering if I should intervene and ask if I could bring the dog here (which might be more stressful for the dog?) or just leave it alone and the dog will survive. I realize since it's not my dog, it's not my business, but I also wanted to hear if other people think this is cruel for this dog. Thanks. UPDATE: Apparently someone beat me to it and is actually going to dogsit at my friend's apartment while he is out of town. I imagine I'm not the only one who was concerned by his behavior and I'm glad a closer friend was able to step in. Good news. |
