<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I'm actually referring to a friend's neighbor and not my own, but in case the current idea falls through I'd like to hear what thoughts you guys have on the matter.

My friend's neighbor is a sheriff and he leaves his dog chained up 24/7 in the freezing cold with nothing but a cage with a tarp over it. Last night the wind was blowing the rain sideways and I can't believe that sorry excuse for a "shelter" did any good. This dog barks all night long likely because it is cold and begging to come inside. She has called the police multiple times and they said they'll "take care of it" but nothing has changed so far. Of course the abuser in this case is a sheriff, so you can imagine whose side the police will take on the matter. You shouldn't be able to treat your dog like shit and get away with it just because you're someone who is "supposed" to uphold the law.

I suggested calling a local shelter to see how they think it should be handled. She said she is going to get a video of it and take that in to see what can be done. I have no idea if this will be effective but it's all I can think of. Maybe the shelter has seen this issue before?

Has anyone seen a situation like this? I'd hate to see this idiot get away with it and let his dog suffer. What do?
<bot>: Neighbor is a sheriff and leaves his dog out all night in the freezing cold with inadequate shelter. Calling the cops (obviously) hasn't helped. What can be done?
