First of all, it is against the law to have a dog chained up ("tethered") for a certain amount of hours (double-check with Kern County Animal Control) Since these people are gone most of the time and do not provide the correct amount of food, water, and shelter, this is inhumane, and keeping the dog tethered for endless hours is cruel, and I repeat, against the law (please go on-line to KC's Animal Control website or call them for the specifics).
This poor dog already has a bad rap since he or she is a Pit Bull, who can be very sweet if they are treated kindly (by the owner) and if mistreated, i.e., chained up, it makes ANY DOG aggressive.
Obviously, you do not want to cause trouble, however, when the dog gets loose the next time, he could cause harm to you and/or your dogs, as well as to any other innocent victim (adults and children, alike).
This is a disaster waiting to happen and if the neighbor is renting, then I do not know what the liability would be; it is...
