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

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
