The owner had to go to the vetrans hospital over her father that had a heart attack and flat linned. So how could she take a dog with her that size? Plus the dog is very attached to the one that had the heart attack.

Sorry about the dog and glad he's okay

I had adopted a dog who was thunder phobic, in her previous home she was left in the garage when a thunder came up she panicked broke thru a window cutting herself up and went running in terror the adoption group that plce her with that family had to be called to find her and capture her, owners decided they no longer wanted her after having her for 3 years.


So I adopted her and afterward the adoption group told me what had happened to her in her previous home, my home has windows that are low enough that she could potentially try to go thru in the event a storm comes up. I work fulltime out of town, so there was no way for me to predict storms and too far to go home fast enough, plus my workplace woud not let me stay home most of the summer(our thunderstorm season) just because my dog is afraid if thunder. Some I had to come up with other solutions I did not want to have to crate her 9 hours a day, so instead I found other solution like baby gating her away from some of the window for other I put up some bars that are sold to prevent people from breaking into home thru windows, I also put up a blind and curtains to cover the windows so she would not view the windows as escaped routes in the event she panicked, aslo the blinds and curtains combined helped to sheild her from some of the lightening flashes since that also caused her to panick not just the noise of the thunder, so helped to reduce some of her fear.

You may have to experiment with different ideas to see what may work best for this dog, it is possible you may need to use a crate depanding on the levl of anxiety to keep him safe and to prevent him from trashing the house in his anxiety
Some alone training training can be helpful if he is noit used to being alone

you may have to start with short leaves to practice getting him used to the fact people return, it could be the dog is used to being alone sometimes, but at the time he becomed stressed because he sense the owners upset when she left, in this case crating may be necessary the dog will still be stressed but at least it would lessen the risk of him getting hurt or destroying the place in an attempt to follow his owner.

I think a lot of the answers to your questins come down to the energy level of the dog in comparison to the owner. A high energy owner with a high energy dog will leave the house in a bustling enthusiastic way so even a dog that has had an hours excercise will be hyped up and the left alone Pair the same dog with a lower engery and therefore calmer owner and the situation changes completely. I don't agree with people who do crate dogs for the whole day, not because the dog will develop problems but because they obviously are not prepared to provide the life a dog needs. If you have to work all day to afford a dog fine, work an extra hour or two to be able to afford a walker or sitter. Unfortunately a few voices on a forum will not change the world, money makes it go round and money is the back bone of all back yard breeders

I don't know what the question is, but here are my thoughts:

1. If the dog is injured, the dog should be taken to the vet right away.
2. If the owner cannot care for her dog at this time, the dog should be taken to a kennel (or very kind friends who are willing to foster) until the owner is ready to care for the dog again.
3. If the owner cannot care for her dog now or in the future, the dog should be taken to an animal shelter.

The father's illness is very unfortunate, but the owner is responsible for her dog's well-being. NEGLECTING AN INJURED PET IS INEXCUSABLE. Unless the owner had no friends, relatives, coworkers, or neighbors, she had other options besides abandoning her dog.

Is he cut up? Did he injure himself? If so, get him to an emergency vet right away.
