And for those invested in my dog story, I called the RSPCA yesterday after hearing breaking glass. Dog had been alone howling for about ten hours. They were not in the slightest bit interested. No walks ever, ten daily hours of barking and howling, smashing itself against windows and walls … not neglect because it has water.
The RSPCA are a load of
tit.
A couple of Summers ago there was a dog just up and across the road from us barking all day. It was a very hot day, and it sounded distressed. I rang the RSPCA, and they wouldn't do anything without a house number, and I couldn't work out exactly which house it was.
This went on for a couple of days. I worked out the house and reported it again. They wanted to know if it had access to water. I told her I couldn't see over 6ft gates and around corners. They were just not arsed, and basically told me to report it to the council as a noise nuisance, because "it's probably fine."
The council were slightly more helpful, in that they did send someone out, but all he could do was put a letter through the door telling the owners they'd been. I then got a phone call a couple of weeks later asking if the noise was still an issue, and to confirm the address, because these people had rung the council and said it wasn't them because they don't have a dog. Which they do, I've seen them walking it.
Anyway, I later found out from a neighbour that the parents had gone away and left the teenage son home with the dog. He'd wanted to be out with his mates, and decided the dog would be happier outside than in the house
