We have very few problems with stray dogs but there is one who lives six miles away and chooses to visit here any time after midnight, often on holidays. While I can never imagine what his owners are thinking (he has been coming here for six years), this is what Skinny thinks of him when he shows up. These pens are not necessarily sturdy but for the most part, the dogs are 'honest' and understand the boundaries. This particular pen is just one for short term uses... Skinny was in here resting up and being supervised after thunder storms riled him. A stray dog was all he needed to rip this 'shelter' to shreds. Skinny was on a short chain when he did this, or the visitor might not have been okay.
Looks like Skinny tried digging out first.
He's had several surgeries for ripping pens apart but this time he did not get hurt, fortunately.
When I took the stray dog home, the owner scolded me for letting his dirty/wet dog 'loose' out of my car. This stray is so accustomed to coming here that as soon as he sees me,(usually in my pajamas) he wags his tail and heads for my truck , his taxi ride home.
