Think about how you would prefer that this is dealt with if the situation was reversed, after all how many people on here have gotten upset that someone who didn't know their circumstances wrote a note, reported them etc etc

Thanks for replying. That's exactly the reason I came on here to ask for advice, I didn't want to do anything if I was overreacting to the situation. Every dog I've owned in the past has always been treated like part of the family, lived, ate, slept in the house, given lots of love and attention/stimulation. Other people have different ways of treating their pets and as long as the animal is happy/content I have no problem.
Far be it for me to criticise another for their ways. I try to treat others as I want to be treated and I know how upset I would be if I was on the receiving end without cause.
No I haven't spoken to him, I don't know him and to be honest I wouldn't have a clue how to approach him about the subject especially calmly and without emotion, which is how I would have to deal with it.
Sorry if people feel I'm rambling on too much but I've been watching this dog out of my kitchen window for quite a while now, even when the snow was on the ground he was cooped up in that car for hours on end.
