the person that showed me the dog (who used to be heavily involved in rescue) has a key to the flat as she has been asked to go in an check on the dog when it has a poorly tummy. We tried to take it a walk, but it pulled like mad, and we were worried in case it pulled us over and we lost it. She has already been spoken to in very strong terms, and her answer was 'what am I supposed to do, I have to work'. It was recommended that she found it another home, and she said no way, as she loved it. If it is reported now, they will know it is me. But......someone has threatened to remove it from the flat when she isnt there. It doesnt bark at all, totally submissive. Sometimes it doesnt even pick its head up when you go in to it. She leaves the TV on for it all day as well, which I think is a danger in itself. I have never met the owner, and I have been visiting the flats for years, so just shows how often the dog is out. If and when I do meet her, she will have a peace of my mind.
