Question
Dear Rabbi, another question: the Rabbi said that it is forbidden to tie a dog to a tree on Shabbat. I wanted to ask if it is permissible to tie the dog around a large dry tree trunk in the park where we take the dog?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
In winter, according to all opinions, it is forbidden. However, opinions differ on whether it is permissible to tie a dog or any other animal, or to make any other use of a dry tree during the summer days when it is evident that it is dry.
