There is a bill in the legislature to ban lengthy tying up or chaining of a dog.

"a Senate committee gave unanimous approval last week to a bill that would outlaw lengthy tethering of man’s best friend, a cruelty that is common in backyards throughout the state. The bill would make it a misdemeanor to tie a dog by chain, rope or other attachment to a doghouse, tree, fence or any other stationery object for more than three hours during a 24-hour period. Use of a running line, pulley or trolley system is among the exceptions."
According to the article, "Researchers reported in a 1994 edition of the journal Pediatrics that chained dogs are nearly three times more likely to bite than unchained dogs and more than five times more likely to bite children".
I think that tying up dogs makes them frustrated and unpredictable and mean. Do know people who do this? My idiot neighbors tie their dog for days.
