I know everyone keeps going on about this but please don't leave your dogs in your car in this heat

I've just come back from Sainsbury's (Dog Kennel Hill appropriately enough) having had a stand-up row with a woman who had left 4 dogs in the car

In her defence she said:

It was okay as she was a dog walker (no, I didn't understand her logic either)

She was only in the supermarket for 5 minutes (she wasn't, she was at least 10 minutes from the time I got them to make an announcement)

And the windows were open (they were, but only slightly)

She also said I was a busy body (yes I probably am, but the dogs were getting distressed and if it had been my dog in the back of the car I would have been very p****d off)

Rabid rant rant over...

I was all prepared for a smash and grab using my own tins of newly purchased dog food... with slight trepidation admittedly as two of the dogs were a very large rottweiler and a husky...

I even had the car wash guys on stand by with water

PR - yes it is actually allowable to smash the windows. Cruely to animals is a criminal offence. In this country you are allowed to use "reasonable force in the prevention of a crime". I'd say smashing a window came under that category. I was at Hampton Court flower show last year when the RHS announced over the tannoy that someone had left their dog in a hot car in the car park and if they didn't come and get it the RHS would smash the window. So I figure if the RHS are allowed then so are we!!

Yes I do have a good description of her, her car, the dogs etc but I'm hesitant to post

She implied that she was a professional dog walker and with the mixed bag of mutts she had in the car it would seem that she was

I don't want to stop the woman making a living, but her attitude stank. And as as dog owner myself I would be furious if I found she had left any of my dogs in a car in this weather for any length of time

And, if it's of any reassurance, she wasn't a dog walker I recognise from any of the parks round here

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
