This is part of the reason I joked about moving to Wake Atoll. I get annoyed with people who get a dog and then don't properly take care of it. This animal is obviously unhappy. You hear it barking and moaning much of the day. I think some days go by when they don't even walk it one time. So then it barks nonstop, driving the rest of the residents nuts.
I think some people get an animal without thinking about the attention they're going to need to give to it. If you have a dog, you need to actually give it food, water, and walk it. And, just as important, you give it attention, as it's a social animal. It will be miserable just locked in a room.
Much is the same of a cat. You don't walk it, of course, but you do need to keep its litter box clean, give it food, and water, and also the same attention. Cats are more independent-minded than dogs, but it doesn't mean they don't need attention. I knew an idiot who didn't have his cat spade, and then he ended up with something like 13 cats, which he kept in filthy condition and barely fed. I took one of those cats and got it veterinary and nursed it back to health, and that is my cat, Rosie, who I've had since 2013. If I've been working a lot, sometimes she'll meow, and then I look to see if she needs food. Nope, dish is full. Then I look to make sure her litter box is clean. Totally clean, yes, I just scooped it. Then it turns out that she just needed attention. Cats need love and attention too. They're just less obvious about it.
When you come home a dog will come running right away, super happy to see you and will be like, "Love me, love me, right now."
Anyway, the dog stopped barking. Maybe they're actually walking it. I am concerned, however, by how much that dog barks that it may be getting neglected.
Edit: I spoke too soon. It's barking again. It's gong on at least 2 hours now, since 6 AM.
