In reply to the discussion: This winter, my wife and I got a shelter dog. [View all]RebelOne
(30,947 posts)24. In Cherokee County, Georgia, where I live,
a law was passed that dogs could be tethered no longer than 2 hours a day. I agree with that law because the next door neighbor would tie her dog out on a very short chain 24/7 no matter how bad the weather. I had to call animal control one time because it was 30 degrees and the poor dog was shivering from the cold. Another time, there was a very severe thunderstorm and the dog was terrified. I had to bang on her door and ask her to take her dog inside. She reluctantly did and was not happy about it.

I suspect that gorillas care about interesting, whereas lions care about large.

Probably not typical, but tethering dogs is illegal where I live (Chapel Hill, NC)

Unattended here means not outside WITH the dog...or basically...having the dog on a long leash.
