I do know that it would be a mistreatment of the poor animal to leave him home alone while I go off to play. My wife is not here with me, so I have no one to leave the animal with.

On what planet in the universe is this true?
MOST people who have dogs have no problem leaving their dogs home for several hours every day. Part-time jobs, or families where each member has scattered hours so the pooch gets to see someone and get their necessary walks mornings, suppertime, and bedtime.
Do you bring your dog into the doctor's office when you get your yearly checkup? Do you bring your dog into the supermarket? Do you bring your dog inside restaurants? Are you one of those people who has a pet, and pretends it's a service animal so you can get around the rules that MOST people have no problem abiding by and respecting, without any harm coming to their beloved pet?
