When going to a shop, spare us the sight of you tying your dog to some gate or anything else outside the shop. Two dogs were left in full sunlight, on scorching pavement, positioned perfectly so that when they tried to move into the shade, there was no leash left to spare. I noticed them and decided to at least point it out, but I waited about 10 minutes for the man; I wonder how long they had been sitting there before I noticed them.

She added: – When I pointed out that he should at least leave the dogs in the shade next time, I heard: “Two minutes won’t hurt them.”

People! What is wrong with you?! Have the heat made your brains evaporate? Sit down, one or the other of you, on such hot pavement in the sun, where at 11 a.m. it reads 43.5…
