Yep, knew a real dumba$$ who didn't treat his dog well (APBT) lived on a chain full time. Got a puppy, threw it in the backyard, and came home to a pile of bones.

Would you think that dog had some underlying genetic issues for doing that? Meaning, if he hadn't been incorrectly chained, do you think he would still have those issues, or do you think it's all tied into (no pun intended) the incorrect chaining and lack of socialization?

Do you know if the dog was taken from it's mother too young?

I'm just thinking that if it isn't nature that puts the idea that puppies are different in the dog's head, that maybe it's nuture - learned from being with littermates and mom.
