I have never had a big dog but I agree with what you just said Centralnewyorki...IF the dog prefers it outside ...great - Shecass & others ....your dogs have their own HOUSE - I can agree with THAT ....but if it's only due to size or convienence that someone keeps them out & they have no shelter or house - I think that's wrong.
I think the Chigago Law is great because it DOES protect the larger breeds and I know there are many many people who do keep outside dogs and never pay attention to them - Not saying that's the case here - because what I just read of large dog owners it sounds like they were all well cared for - but I've had neighbors who didn't care and they had the most miserable dog chained to a tree 24/7 ...their excuse was no one but the Man in the family could handle him - but really - he was super confined and lonely & not useed to ANY people ...it was no wonder he was as mean as he was. This was long ago and if I could do it over - I'd have reported them in a hearbeat
