Our dogs are naturalists coming from the tropics as they are. During cold seasons, they can be seen in semi hibernation tucked away in corners. In most instances, owners of dogs in our region make a provision for kennels though some dogs out of the free spirit of wanting to sample the night ignore them. Some owners are guilty of this aspect since some dogs are exposed to inhumane conditions at night. Since the time they were puppies, they were not trained to mark their territory with respect to secure and well insulated sleeping hamlets. I bet that since the plight of dogs is more of assessment on the part of the pet owner, a good dose of empathy is needed to assess their needs.
