A woman whose parents live up the road from me has moved in with them, together with a couple of huge dogs that would be waist high to a grown man. She takes the dogs out for a walk a couple of times a day and the dogs seem well-behaved but at other times the woman keeps the dogs in the back of her Punto which is parked on the road.

The dogs are no bother to me as I sweep majestically past in the mighty Mondeo but I’ve noticed they bark wildly at anyone who’s walking past esp if they have a dog. Before I wind my neck right in I wondered what the STW hive mind thinks about using a Punto as a kennel for a couple of people-size dogs?

They’re probably dead by now anyway, in the current ‘heatwave’

Call a vet/rspca. They will determine if it’s a problem. Sounds mean to me.

They’ll be fine, I mean..two big dogs in a punto in hot weather, what can go wrong???
Probably lying there fast asleep snug as a bug…dreaming about doggy heaven…. 😀

good for car security though

illegal to leave dogs in a car unattended, iirc, call rspca

good for car security though

And that…I can’t see the problem personally….
They’ll be happy as Larry… 😀

I think you’re absolutely right and if the dogs are as big as you say, they should really be kept in something more Mondeo size during this hot weather. Puntos are for poodles.

At the risk of repeating myself with dog-based solutions, you want one of these…..

Leave em they should be wwell cooked by now!

Or do the right thing and call the RSPCA if they are there all the time.

I wouldn’t want to clean out that car in this heat if the worst happened!

Shouldn’t be left unattended in a locked car for any length of time.

Does she also have a broken fridge with the door hanging off on her front lawn?

Is the car unlocked and windows etc open?

Has she left them the keys?

that’d be silly binners, i doubt they’re insured…. anyone thought of telling them to crack open the sun woof?

thats darn right mean.. ‘puntos’ are far too small for ‘two waist height dogs’…crikey at the moment im having my house destroyed by a six month old cocker spaniel who is ripping stuff to shreds (my daughters dog she moved back home), and ive not kicked him out yet, but im at screaming point…lol),,,,, do the parents not want the dogs in the house at all ? have you spoke to the woman in question…
also in this heat the dogs will be suffering ,,,they need water too !!!! keep an extra eye out for the dogs and id be ringing the R.S.P.C.A …it sounds too cruel to me….
