Dogs are pack animals and they see the family/people they live with as their pack. When they are left alone and outside, away from the other members of their pack, they become bored, depressed,...

isn't this just so typical of the county beauacracy to be so destructive, blow the job, waste our tax dollars and probably give some pathetic excuse as to 'why they HAD to do it".....!! well,...

Incessant barking is definitely annoying and disturbs our sleep.
