You are amazing! I never know how to approach situations like these, but you seem to have done it with a level head, I’m glad you kept your cool.

It’s funny he says that it was only one night, I have a video of it from Thursday night, around 10 PM I even filmed the “shelter” they had made for him. I’m going to start taking a video every night. I live within earshot of the building and can confirm it was for sure out there at 12:00 AM this morning, and I woke up and saw it again at 7:00 AM, prior to them opening.

Another sad part of it, is during the week the property adjacent is an active construction site. The dog is sometimes 5-10 feet away from heavy machinery, and just your average loud construction noises. It’s gotta be terrifying for the poor thing. The group of kids I spoke to on Thursday told me they first noticed the dog about a month ago, but never had seen it outside over night.

I was direct to get my point across but I didn't want to escalate and have him take it out on the dog. Who knows of that's a possibility. If they do in fact keep it out, contacting animal control during business hours will be the best step. Worcester police are not the greatest on following up, and the dog is very clearly on private property and not accessible. It IS a business, so my hope is that my statements will instigate enough paranoia that they will take it seriously.
