I love Hitler and Hitler loves me! He's not all bad, Hitler just needs someone to believe in him! Can't you just give Hitler a chance?

Unless the dog is lacking shelter and access to water, it's not cruel and it's not illegal. Talk to the owners, but they're probably just going to tell you to gently caress off and mind your own business because they're absolutely allowed to keep their dog however they like, especially if it's designed to be a guard dog in a rough area. That's literally the function of a guard dog.

Just because you'd like to see the dog getting attention and walkies doesn't mean that it's cruel to the dog, FYI. Pits are designed to live on chains outdoors, only getting worked when they are required, and pretty much all of them are dumb and happy as hell with that. Dogs don't quantify attention like we do. Sure, what they're doing is probably not what our society considers 'proper pet ownership' but a lot of that is furmommy bullshit that hurts more than it helps anyway. We'd all like to see every dog get special sweaters and treats and golden sunshine hugs but that's not the world we live in, and our culture of dog ownership in America does not reflect the world.

Talk to your neighbors, ask if you can take the dog for a walk every now and again and buy it a few toys. That's how you can help. Anything else is just hand-wringing nonsense.
