So I came home from work yesterday to find a van in front of the house- I don't remember if it said animal services or animal control. Either way, I got out of my car and this guy came up and asked me if we owned a dog because there was a complaint about a dog being outside in the rain in the afternoon. I didn't understand the problem. Then he made it sound like he was outside for hours. My brother and my cousin came by to let him out because they knew that I was working late. He was apparently outside with food and water and under an overhang from the garage for about a half hour while my cousin and my brother were using a sander in the house. They thought it would be better for him outside than in the house with the dust and the noise. I agreed. The thing that makes me mad is that we have no idea who complained but we wanted to explain why he was outside. Now they just think we don't know how to take care of our pets. It wasn't even raining that hard. The dog is 11 years old and his been outside in the rain before. It's not like we're neglectful of our dog. I just don't know what to do at this point because now I'm worried that if I leave him outside at all the neighbors are going to complain. He's a husky and he loves being outside. Any thoughts?
