Is there a law against dumping a dog?
<|assistant|>
No, there is not a law specifically prohibiting the practice of dumping a dog, however, dumping a dog is generally considered to be a form of animal neglect or abuse, which is a violation of state and/or federal laws. Furthermore, leaving a dog with no food, water, shelter or appropriate veterinary care can result in charges of animal cruelty, depending on the state.
