Hope was one of the lucky ones — there are many dogs who never get their happy endings, and spend their entire lives outdoors, never knowing what it feels like to be part of a pack.
"More than 10,000 years ago, dogs were domesticated to live with humans: They long for our companionship and need it," Goldberg explained. "Your dog will only be happy living outside if you live outside with him."
If you're interested in helping educate about the importance of letting dogs live indoors, check out volunteer organizations like The Backyard Dog Project, which works to bring in chained dogs.
