Baby, it's still cold outside

Toastie's got a photo essay up about his neighbor's dog who was left out all night last night.

Durham's animal cruelty code requires that a dog must have access to water at all times. Does ice count?
(2) Failure to provide adequate water. All animals shall have constant access to a supply of clean, fresh, potable water or a supply of clean, fresh potable water provided at suitable intervals. If access is not constant, then adequate amounts of water must be provided at least twice in a 24-hour period. If water is provided at intervals, it must remain in the animal's enclosure for at least one hour during each interval.

  • I wonder if a lot of pet owners are not aware that heated water bowls are comparatively inexpensive? (although I still think the dogs should be inside)

  • just a guess, but my suspicion is that anyone who would leave an animal outside in 18 degree weather is not going to go to the trouble of buying a heated water bowl for there dog.
