4 years later apparently they can't leave the dogs by themselves or they tear up the house. Or they bring the dogs with them and leave them in the car.
The dogs are BORED.
Bored dogs are destructive dogs. Especially beagles, because they have very high intelligence. Those beagles are the most intelligent things living at 14BC. Another problem with beagles is that they require a lot of intensive exercise, both for their bodies and their minds, or else they get obese and have health problems. They do well at games where they have to figure out problems to be able to get a treat or follow a scent through an obstacle course. They are a Hound, and so have very sensitive noses. They can also have very sensitive skin if they aren't bathed regularly and are given low quality food to eat.
So the tragedy here are there are these two handsome, intelligent dogs who are stuck with two of the laziest people in history in a filthy fire hazard of a house, they never get exercise, they're never properly stimulated, they've never been trained or house broken, they're most likely covered in parasites like fleas and ticks, they're not on a proper diet, they're surrounded by shit and piss from both animals and humans, and they have to suffer the stench of Chris, Barb, and the house in general.
Of all the animals that the Chandlers ignorantly neglect, the dogs are what upset me most. I'm a dog person for one thing, and for another, dogs require much more care than cats. They require more attention, more affection, more exercise, more stimulation, and are much more dependant on their humans. Cats for the most part are low maintenance and independent. Yes they need their human to empty their litter and fill their food and water bowls, but they can go without human attention for a long time. Dogs need daily interaction because they are pack animals. They need that social structure to be happy and healthy. Laying on the couch all day while their human slowly merges with an arm chair is unhealthy for them.
