I know how you feel. It's horrible to live close to animal neglect. My new next-door neighbors leave their two dogs out 24/7– heat, rain, snow, lightning storm. They have a big fenced yard, but almost no shade. Of course, the dogs bark non-stop. There's no talking to people like that-- I've already been told to mind my own business. Maybe your neighbor will take you up on your offer... but probably not. It's sad.

PBS Nature special edition on "Why We Love Cats and Dogs," full episode viewable online, sent to me by a friend. Sorry, I didn't see any basenjis in this video, but I thought it was interesting anyway.
