I wish it did! We have a neighbor whose dog is kenneled, and it stays out 24/7. Barks around the clock! We've filled out so many bark logs, we've probably helped to kill the Rain Forest! We can't even enjoy our backyard most days.

Doesn't mean that every dog needs to be kept inside.

I'm not a damn dog. They're not people. Bears are so cute and cuddly. Bring them inside for the winter!

Bears aren't domesticated and they can make fire.

If you love the dog you do.

These dogs aren't domesticated either. His are coon hounds and my parents are malamutes. Just because you choose to keep your dog inside does NOT mean that it's necessary for all dogs to be inside.

It is normal to keep hunting dogs outside. I've never seen them living inside. Pet dogs I keep inside.

So, they are wild dogs?

No. They're well taken care of pets that live outside. They're happy and healthy, year round. Like most animals, their bodies and coats thicken up during the winter and thin out during the summer. It's called nature.
