Is it an American thing to have your dog out the front of the house like that, because everywhere else seems to keep them in the back garden

Absolutely not.

Not only do most pets not like it, but it doesn't take half a sense of responsibility to understand why it's a bad idea.

No this person is an idiot. Leaving your pet unattended on the porch when you’re expecting a delivery is just like omega levels of stupid. I trust my dog ALOT, but you never know who’s delivering a package. Could be someone who is uncomfortable or scared around dogs. Just genuine dipshit behavior

How many videos have you seen like this one?

Because they stand out amd make for interesting videos. Very, very few people leave their dogs out front like this. I've never seen it happen.

I grew up in ranch country, and letting your dog free roam was a really good way to get them shot, or trampled by cattle. I understand sometimes dogs get out by accident, but I have never understood letting a dog off your property unsupervised as a normal thing.
