My neighbor got a dog a few months ago and they leave it outside barking ALL DAY. As early as 8am until as late as 8pm they have it in their back yard and it barks the whole time. I work from home and have to listen to it all day.

They do not answer their door so talking to anyone there isn't really an option unless I stake out and wait for them. Their doorbell is also in their porch which is locked so I can't spam it. They ignored all letters/notes I've sent.

I've spoken to other neighbors and apparently the situation is that the father got the kid a dog then the wife asked for a divorce a few weeks later so now he hates the family and therefore the dog so if he is home it is locked outside.

Police do nothing because they are not technically doing anything illegal even though the dog could freeze to death if they do it during winter and the local town council or whatever is useless so I have nowhere to turn to but here.

Open to anything but hurting the dog because it's not his fault.
