If you're friendly with the neighbour, can you just ask him, "hey how's your dog? Why don't we have Riley over for a doggie play date?" Or, 'why don't we go for walks with our dogs together?" Just to get some conversation going and see how they talk about their dog. Maybe they don't want him and feel guilty about it and if they have someone to talk to who won't judge them, they'd feel more free to talk about it. Or if he avoids the conversation or seems to not give a damn, then you know where he stands. Don't feel guilty for reporting him; good for you for taking a stand for the poor dog.
