I agree! This piece makes me want to jump up and smack that owner, then go help the animals. You portrayed the idea well.
There are a few small things that I noticed that you might be able to fix though. Near the end, where you say "All I here at night is the cry of hundreds of other dogs," it should be hear, and in "I can't keep my self from barking our growling," I think you were going for "I can't keep myself from barking or growling."
There are also some words that you could probably take out. Words like 'well,' and 'just.' Sometimes it feels like they're taking away from the piece more than they're adding, by hampering the flow. If i were you, I'd just play around with it a little, and maybe even read it out loud. Move things around and try to see which way each of the sentences flow the best.
Honestly, you really do have a great thing going here. There were a few times you created a new line in one sentence, creating a bit of a pause. You placed those pauses really well, I thought, like when it said, "I felt humiliated." The ending was really neat too. That last statement was powerful. Well done!
