Make sure you watch the video so you can see that the owner speaks no english and someone inside has to translate. She can't understand what is wrong with leaving a dog outside in an ice storm that lasted 3 days.

Dog Left Chained to Tree During Freezing Weather



The cold weather has many people worried for animals in the area. Some neighbors in one San Antonio neighborhood contacted News 4 WOAI, concerned for a dog left in the yard of a nearby home. News 4 WOAI’s Jeff Coyle went to the home and spoke with the dog’s owner.
“Why is it a problem that the dog is outside?” she said. “We feed him good and everything.”

Neighbors disagree.

“He’s suffering. He cries a lot,” said Josie Jeffries, “I mean, at nighttime, he starts crying. And he’s not barking, he’s crying.”

That concern prompted neighbors to call police.

“(Officers) came and they saw the dog tied up outside freezing. They’ve talked to the owner and they won’t do anything about it,” said Jeffries.

The owner told News 4 the dog is too big to come inside.

News 4 contacted the Human Society. An animal care officer stopped by the house. He determined the dog’s life isn’t in danger by being outside, however, he promised to return tomorrow with a dog house.
