I’m gonna go with: ummmmm, fucking nope.

I occasionally leave my two dogs at home, outside, alone, over night.

Their water is on a timer.

Dogs can go days without food.

You can leave a dog at home alone.

Dogs can eat rotting food, including meat.

Dogs can be trained to sit and wait in silence.

You can put dogs in a cage for hours and they just take it and wait.

If I can’t be arsed running with them I get in the car and they run on the footpath beside me for 10k.

If a dog gets to ill or too physically incapable you can take it round to a mates place and shoot it in the head.
