charliehall – in reponse to your post – there is no halacha that says that I must own a dog or any other animal. therefore if i dont own one I am not responsible for its well being. Tzaar Baal Chayim prevents me from abusing or torturing. so I prefer to spend my holy shabbos with family, friends, seforim, shul and a shabbos meal – not with a dog.
