[QUOTE="witzend, post: 368506, member: 99"] Because the lifespan of an outside dog is cut dramatically. Their quality of life is far lower than that of an inside dog. They're more likely to get serious disease than an inside dog. They're more likely to bite a stranger than an inside dog. They're more likely to escape and be hit by a vehicle. I could go on and on. Unless you are in a farming community and need a ranch dog, there's really no reason for an outside dog. I know that some will disagree with me, but ask anyone if they like their neighbor's "outside dog". You'll get a resounding NO! Ask a vet if you should let your dog live outside, and there will be another big NO! Dogs are pack animals. Unless you want them to live in a pack outside, it's cruel. [/QUOTE]
