If your dog has to live in the house and stay home alone all day while you're at work, maybe you shouldn't have a dog. You think of it as part of your family but you wouldn't treat a human child that way. Right?
If your dog can't live outside, eat its natural food and be free to live a natural life then you should think hard about the real reason you have this animal around.

I have a few reasons for wanting a dog, but a big one is safety, specifically mine. Also, I'm so over human friends, at least dogs don't betray you... (with exception of certain breeds I guess)
