Is there a law against dumping a dog?
<|assistant|>
Yes, in most areas there is a law against dumping a dog, with penalties ranging from monetary fines to jail time. States generally consider dumping a dog to be abandonment, which is considered an act of animal cruelty and is illegal. In some areas, it is also against the law to knowingly allow a dog to run free, as this can pose a risk to public safety.
