Should dogs be kept inside?
<|assistant|>
This depends on the owners' preferences, but keeping a dog inside can provide safety for both the dog and the family. For example, certain breeds of dogs might have the tendency to roam and explore outside, which could increase their chance of coming in contact with harm such as diseases, poison, and getting lost. On the other hand, keeping a dog inside can create separation anxiety as the dog may become reliant on its owners. Therefore, owners must balance the risk of their dog's well-being if left outside with the importance of their dog’s need for freedom, comfort and exercise. Ultimately, the decision should be based upon what is best for the safety and overall wellness of the dog.
