If in doubt, don't go out, says Julie
RSPCA volunteer Julie (right) spent a day
on the beach on a warm day in Scarborough
to educate the dog-loving public about the
dangers of walking dogs in hot weather.
"We had such a great day down on the
beach, meeting lots of dogs and their very
responsible owners," says Julie. "We gave
advice and handed out information to help
people protect their beloved pets, whatever
the weather."
