animal rights?

Isn't it cruelty if a dog is restricted to the patio of one's apartment 24/7, is made to pee and crap on the patio, never taken out for walks? This is the fate of the dog (my bad, the son as his owners prefer him being addressed) that belongs to the couple upstairs. I've never heard the dog bark (and this is no tiny chihuahua). It's a big animal (I don't know what breed though). He gets so excited every time he sees his owners, stars clawing on the patio screen. They open the patio door for a brief moment to give him some food and water. That's about it. The storage room in the patio, I guess, is his kennel. Whenever I see him staring at me from upstairs (the patio looks over the parking lot) I whistle, wave and greet him, but he just stares with big sad eyes. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I think he is one sad dog.

I'm this close to reporting them to PETA, but then they are not really physically torturing the animal, I probably don't have a case.

Although, he does pee out of the balcony and the pee lands on my patio (I didn't realize it all this time cause I'd be too busy getting ready for work). So I'm going to complain about it to his owners today. Maybe they'll be forced to take him for a walk? It's wishful thinking; If only it was that easy. hmm.
