Feeding a dog in front of the house and whether that counts as keeping it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is a friendly dog in front of our house that sleeps, sits, and takes shade in front of the house, so we give it food. Does this count as keeping it?

Answer:
No, if it is outside the house and in the street, it is not considered keeping it. This is not considered keeping it, as it is outside the house and does not mix with you. Yes.
