I understand your desire to keep the peace - we've had neighbors I would've liked to shoot, so you're lucky to be able to have even HAVE a conversation about this situation.

My concern, though, is for the dog. It's normal for him to be mourning the loss of his pack - not to mention the added stress of suddenly being locked in the basement (or wherever they have him) alone.

I don't know what your animal control laws are like there, but if it were me and none of the things you've mentioned worked, I would absolutely report them. For it to go on this long with no real effort to console this dog is unforgivable, IMO. Here in Ohio, you can do so anonymously. I'm assuming you have other neighbors that might be affected, which may not be the case making an anonymous report impossible.

In your shoes, I probably wouldn't offer to care for the dog for any period of time simply for the liability reasons already stated. As far as I can tell from your posts, you don't seem to know the dog at all.

I wish you luck. You're not in an easy position.
