My neighbor's dog

Folder: 
My thoughts

I know something,
that could be called a secret.
This "secret" is harming something.
This something is my neighbor's dog.

They had a dog,
before this one,
who was a chocolate lab,
and very calm and nice.

So, when that dog died,
they got another one,
a black lab german shepherd mix,
who was a from a pound.

This dog is a wild pup,
and they didn't train the poor thing.
He has lived his whole life,
in their backyard, on a chain.

He has to go pee and poop
on their bricked patio,
his chain doesn't allow the poor dog
to go into the grass.

I can't stand to see this dog
out there, chained up,
pretty much 23.5/7,
often without food or water.

He's also out there in the rain,
in the freezing cold, and snow.
Also when there have been
warnings of tornados.

I feed him over the fence,
but he has to still be hungry.
I want to help him,
but in doing so, will I hurt him?
