This runs real close to a personal belief of mine. I think a sentient critter like a dog or cat should enjoy the minimal freedom of voting with their feet. If they can find a better home elsewhere it would be a sin to stop them. I've always kept my relationships with my pets on that level. We either care well enough for each other to stay together or they are free to go. So far none have ever abandoned me.
To keep an animal on a chain is like a form of slavery.

Assume the best and ask questions.
