Pets are NOT to be left unattended... what??

Does this phrase in a campground description mean that we aren't allowed to leave our dogs alone in the RV when we are touring?

That's how it reads to me, but that also doesn't make sense to me. I can understand not leaving them tied up outside unattended...

For those not familar there are a couple of problems. They have big dog theft rings in the U.S. (probably not in Yellowstone) Leaving a dog alone where there may be access is an opportunity for those rings to steal your dog. Large dogs are trained to fight. Small dogs used for bait.

The SPCA takes dogs because some of their offices are very over zealous and out of control. They took our dog to jail in southern CA when he was in the back of the truck (in the bed) for less than an hour. When confronted with a lawsuit and health certificates he was immediately released. However, in their custody for about an hour he was injured by their handler (crushed his nasal capillaries when they put the aggressive muzzle on him) and exposed to spinal meningitis in their filthy facility and almost died. He was on the critical list for over 3 days. Due to that experience our dog turned from a very friendly dog into a vicious attack dog. We have to be very careful. He now hates people. You can't even trust the SPCA people. The SPCA lost a multi million dollar law suit for stealing a circus elephant.

Just be alert of your dog's safety.
