When Buddy was fed, all the volunteers did the same thing, slip the bowl under the kennel gate and leave it. All the other pound dogs that were cute and fluffy got treats and attention, but Buddy just sat there in his dark kennel until someone came to get his bowl. Buddy thought that he would just decay away in his little dark kennel in the corner that never gets cleaned. One reason Buddy never got chosen to go home with a family was because the volunteers never cleaned him or took care of him. This pound didn't seem to care about Buddy, they just saw him as another dog that came.
