I have to agree here... as tempting as it may be to step in, you don't know the situation - you've said yourself you don't know if this is a daily occurance and you don't know how long the dog was outside. As long as the dog has access to food and water, I dont see how you could ever get the dog taken away from them - we all know the regulations are pretty slack when it comes to pet care. I am NOT saying that I think it is ok to leave ANY dog outside all day and I can completely empathize with how you're feeling - I would want to do something too. If anything, I would discuss it with the owner of the dog first - explain to her your CONCERN for the dog - don't accuse her of being a bad dog owner. There are ways to go about this in a manner that will keep things civil between you and your neighbor. Give her a chance before contacting animal control.
