that is not cruel..lots of dogs are left home while their owner works. Just make sure they are comfortable while you're away and they won't be over stressed. Make sure they have water, toys, possibly some food, and a place to lay and be comfortable. There are some breeds that are probably better left alone than others, but it also depends on the personality of the dog. My brother had a boston terrier that tore everything up in his apartment while at work (the dog now lives with my mom) and then he got another one who doesn't touch anything.
