It sounds to me like the people running this place have been jaded. After you see so many abused dogs (I won't burden you with some of the things I've seen) it is easy not to trust people with them. You made it a point to say that it is only in good weather that the dog is outside. We are talking about Goldies here, these dogs run in their sleep! It would be cruel to keep them inside.

Here is what I want you to do. Look at the dog. I mean really look. Is that dog happy?

If so, then to hell with them. The dog is the only one you owe anything to.

Dogs give us unconditional love. We give them the best we can. They seem to be O.K. with that.
Great post ken!!
