I think if the human is responsible for their pets and provides proper environment, there is no problem with dogs going outside. Accidents can also happen inside just as well. |
I am not a fan of doggie doors -- or dogs living outside. Why have pets if you want to stick them outside all day? Opossums could be lurking. Or something else.
