I have had a bad morning. At 11am I was coming back home when I saw a man in a mobility scooter and another man kneeling by the side of a dog. The dog was panting and had collapsed I brought him into my house and tried giving him water The man whose dog it was had gone home. Within 20 mins the dog died. Awful.

Very sad.

In this heat, it makes sense to take them out early.

Why had the owner gone home?

The owner had health problems, he was in a bit of a state. He had tied the dog to his scooter. his carers came and picked the dog up they told me he is devastated, the dog was old and had recently been diagnosed with cancer. I rung RSPCA took ages to get through and when they rung me back I felt they were trying to blame me for not getting a vet out to him.

Thats a sad story.

William Hill assistant found a small dog today in the park  obviously lost, no owner in sight, Police
couldnt help and the SPCA wouldnt come out unless it was injured! Her brother will take it to a vet
tomorrow hoping its been micro chipped, it was a cute wee thing.

The RSPCA had 729 calls about animals being left in hot environments between Monday and Thursday.

RSPCA Altrincham Cheshire said: ‘This morning we were informed a local dog died of heat stroke after being taken on a walk at 9am when the temperature was 21 degrees.

‘The dog was otherwise fit and healthy.

Very sad story
The ignorance and selfishness of some people who have animals knows no bounds there's no excuse to justify the lack of care when it should be obvious to anyone Angry
