Sounds like you are stuck in the middle and there is nothing you can do. They really aren't commiting a crime by locking this dog outside. They put a crate out there when it rained. As sad as it is, that is not illegal. For all you know, the dog still isn't potty trained and they have had it. So instead of getting rid of the dog and admitting they don't have the time nor desire to potty train, they simply keep it outside. Bets are on that when it is actually in the house, it is in that same crate that they put outside for it (when it rained). Do you people like that deserve animals? HECK NO~!!!! But the fact is, they do own them, all over the place and there is nothing you can do.
