So you could try to settle the whole thing peacefully, just talk to the owner, tell him that his dog is suffering and that he may need some training for staying alone or more activity or perhaps a pal to play around with. Perhaps you could even offer taking care of the dog while he is away.
Or you could try forcing the owner to take action, for example by filing a lawsuit due to the constant barking (depends on local law) or by going to an animal shelter and telling them that the dog is perhaps not being treated correctly.
If you think the dog is being abused (malnurished, maybe erratic or scared behaviour) you should probably go to an animal shelter anyway. | This.
Simply said:
1) Try t talk/ reason with the owner
2) Contact local animal shelter or simular animal care organisation
3) Perhaps the guy is violating some law
4) If all fails, I suppose all you can do is feel sorry for the dog, give it some attention and such (wel I suppose you could offer to adopt/buy/take over the dog from the owner ). |
