Neighbours Pet

This kind of fits into this forum. Not actually sure though.

My neighbours have gone on holiday to Portugal for a week and they have left there dog outside in all week, they asked someone to take it for a walk twice a day. Apart from that is has been outside in the cold and rain day and night.

The dog has been barking constantly ever since they have been gone, and i mean constantly.

When they get back i am going to go and have a word with them about it but i know it's going to sound rude.

If you were in this situation what would you say to them (in a polite way).

+ rep to the best ones.

I'd ask them why it's been left out for so long. If they really really care about it then I will let it go, but if they aren't that bothered about it I would phone the RSPCA. :(

Here's what i'd say -
"Hey, I noticed your dog was out a lot and it was basically suffering. I think that it is very wrong, since dogs are also living things. Maybe pay someone to take care of it next time? I don't mean this in a harsh or rude way I was just telling you, since it hurt looking at your dog suffering like that".


I'd say something along those lines, but it depends on how much you know your neighbour.

Thanks for your suggestions. They are back today so hopefully i will go and have a word. I know i repped you to a few days ago so i'm not sure if i can rep you again but i shall try <3
