Looking after our neighbour's dog for a few days while they're away - lovely little border terrier. A bit needy when indoors, really good with other dogs, energetic, good recall.
Issue is, in 2 years of living next door, I have never once seen them walk the poor lad, other than a couple of times when we've gone out as families. I'm told they get a dog walker in at lunchtimes, but have never seen it. They certainly never take him out morning or evening. And we've only got small gardens round here.
Mrs really doesn't like the dog, Mr plans on giving him back to his ex when they emigrate in a year or so. They only keep him because their 16-yr old is supposedly so bonded to him - but she never leaves her room and the dog's not allowed upstairs, so how that works I don't know. No wonder he's needy - he's never exercised and gets treated like inconvenient furniture - it's a wonder he's as well-behaved as he is.
tl;dr - people don't deserve dogs
