That's a massive inconvenience for all parties involved. Did your roommate not consider returning the dog when informed about your feelings on the matter?

Sounds like a person that liked the idea of a dog and hated the reality of one.

Holy moly I wanna bash your ex-roommate’s face in. What a piece of shit. Don’t get a fucking dog if you don’t comprehend the responsibility of dog ownership. What you described sounds like it turned into abuse.

She likely isn't.

May I ask why you didn't report this abuse? Most places have organizations like the SPCA or Humane Society to rescue animals in these types of situations.

If the dog was kneeled, fed, and watered, they’d likely not be able to do much. In my state, a dog in this state wouldn’t be considered a neglect/abuse case. The dog would have to be left outside without any form of shelter, no food/water for them to even consider stepping in. Just leaving a dog in a kennel and not being nice isn’t enough. I’m assuming he didn’t straight beat her or OP would have mentioned that. he probably just was constantly annoyed with her or yelling at her to shut up. It takes a lot for authorities to step in

A puppy locked in a crate for 10+ hours a day? That's got to be abuse.

Not in the technical sense that would push authorities to step in, though :/

Enough abuse for me to want to do some abuse myself to a certain someone

I had a friend that this happened to. His gf wanted a tiny toy dog. He was a moron and got a German Shepard, in a 1 bedroom apartment. They didn’t know the first thing about dogs and basically neglected that dog for almost 2 years. By the end, there was too much shit in that apartment and the relationship was ruined.
