...whines, what to do? I have a neighbor who keeps their dog in a large cage outside in their side yard all the time.
The poor dog rarely gets walked or any attention and it barks and whines all the time.
This same man had another dog he got after his brother died that did the same thing for 4-5 years!, that he finally put down after it was injured.

It was such a relief to not have the whining and barking everyday.

So when he came home with this new young dog, no one in our neighborhood could believe he did it again.
We all feel terrible for the dog but no one knows what to do.
The man says it is a hunting dog and they need to be kept sharp.
This is breaking my heart and also killing my enjoyment of my home.
The dog has a piercing howl and whine and barks all the time.
This man and his wife go to work so they aren't suffering and they seem to be able to sleep right through it at night.
What can I do and who can I call?
Talking to this guy won't help, people have tried that already.
Breaking heart for dog.
 
By law, the dog needs shelter from the elements, water and food. There is nothing that says a person has to love his dog. But the barking is a noise problem, and you could report it to the police. I would first have a cruelty inspection done by the local Humane Society. They will leave a notice on his door letting him know they have been there. That might serve as a wake-up call. If not, report it as a noise problem.
