We drive by a dog almost every day that looks SOOOO sad and lonely to the kids...and to me too! I've actually had to slow down a couple times to make sure the dog was alive (I don't know what I would have done if I felt it was dead?)...it's always just chained up to a small dog house...never any activity at the home...skinny/mopey looking dog...sad! Not really any other way to put it.
For the kids it's usually a competition to see who can spot the dog first...followed by "oh...he looks so sad!" I then turn it back on the kids and ask what they would do if that was their dog? They of course respond that they would love it...give it hugs, play with it, give him treats, etc.
And maybe one night a week they remember to do the above things with their very own dogs!
Those poor dogs...they get pushed to the back burner when kids come.
Maybe the owners of the "sad little puppy" have three kids of their own...? :)
