Can a dog die from loneliness? General Dog Discussions
So, I have this dog. She is the absolute sweetest thing ever. Actually, she's not really mine anymore. She's almost fifteen years old now and lives tied up to a tree on my grandparent's hill. It makes me so mad, because she's been like that for so many years, ever since I was a little girl. See, my dad got her from the pound when she was just a puppy, a little less than a year old. He didn't really want her because she was only a medium sized dog, see, he wanted something the size of a rottweiler, as she was the size of a lab. After we'd had her for about a year, my parents split up. My mom couldn't take her because she's allergic and thought my dad was taking care of her, but he wasn't. My grandparents took her after about four days without food or water. I'm glad they feed her and everything, but a dog needs for than just having food, water, and a doghouse. They need love, too, and my poor dog isn't getting much of that. <|3 I wish I could take care of her, but I only see her once a week.
