Good idea in principle, but measuring it would cause a lot of issues

My dog has to be chained up while she's in the garage during the day, otherwise she'd take off the second the door opened and run out into the street.
She has food, water, and even a bed if she would ever actually use it.
Remember Sweden is colder than most places. Plus training can help a dog keep from bolting out the door like that

She's smart enough to know what she's told to do and to ignore you when you say it. She's also retarded because she smacks her head on the floor when she sneezes. And she likes to hog my bed.
She'll be 13 in a month, and Poms typically live 12-16 years...
We have to chain our dogs sometimes cause they are too protective over our home and yard
We have over 100 guests coming to our home
Do you suggest we beat him hard so he obeys?
It probably means with no proper water, food, and shelter. Like in the picture with a stake in the ground. No issue if they have the necessities, atleast I wouldn't think.
I can't imagine how much trouble my brother would have with his dog. He likes being outside. A bit too much and always escapes through the fence and goes on a joy walk through the neighborhood all by himself. If he couldn't be tied up, we would have to keep him inside almost all day.
Great concept. Doesnt work. If I'm gone all day on a day trip and the weather is really nice I'm going to leave my dogs outside with water and feed them as soon as I'm back. They would much rather be running aroung in their third of an acre for 8 hours than locked in, a box in my basement. Sorry.
America's huge. Sometimes it's -5 F in Montana and 120° in Florida or Texas. I live in the north. It gets cold. They would still rather be outside in the cold with the doghouse they're too dumb to use than locked in a 2ft x 4ft x 2ft box. It also gets to about 100°F here, but my dogs would still rather be outside. And before you ask, doggy doors would not be an option as wandering squirrels, raccoons, and skunks would take refuge in my house and make a huge mess. Rural areas are wierd, man. So the closest you could get to Sweden's law in the US would be providing water and shelter for dogs being left out in the elements for extended periods of time.
Then there would be the problem of deciding what is an adequate amount of water and what classifies as shelter.
So no, there shouldn't be a law similar to Sweden's everywhere because very few countries are similar to Sweden. You should just treat your dog with basic decency and if you aren't then the SPCA or equivalent will take care of it.
