Yes, it’s high time that people thought about the needs of their dogs too. There’s too many dogs dragged around places that their owner wants to see with little regard for their pet’s needs.
I read about another guide book soon to be published on where to stay with your dog and there are also companies who specialise in self-catering canine getaways.
When I first saw that picture of the dog-paddle boarding, I thought “No way.” Then this afternoon as I walked along Lake Windermere I saw a dog looking very happy on his owner’s paddle board.
I’ve recently rescued a cute Labrador puppy and have taken her to a few local beaches. She loves it! There’s very few people around when we go, like early morning for a stroll. And I’ve also read about dog paws getting burned on hot sand or asphalt/ cement during hot days, so there’s a little tip for those thinking of taking their pooches to the beach.
