We have had the first hot weather of 2008 this week. Already I have passed a few pubs where there are guys outside drinking beer – their dogs are by their side with their tongues out watching. Why dont people simply pop into the bar and get a glass of tap water for the dog? It would take 10 seconds and the dogs would be so happy! It is as if it simply does not occur to the owners. We need to raise the awareness, and make it a habbit… If you are out in hot weather take something that you can fill with water for your dog, or ask at the bar. Obviously lots of people do this, but also lots dont.
