an animal lover?

WELL, summer's here again and those thoughtless - or is it just thick - people who take their dogs everywhere with them are at it again.

Don't get me wrong, we take our dog out with us on certain occasions, but don't leave it locked in a hot car while we shop, leaving the poor creature in distress.

And how much difference do you think having the window open an inch makes at 30 degrees?

I saw one poor dog barking frantically in distress in B&Q car park, while the owners were probably browsing, on a sunny day.

Then I went to Lidl and the same thing - a large German shepherd weaving about. He was absolutely sweltering.

Well done, you thoughtless 'animals lovers'.
