OVER the past few weeks, fellow dog walkers alongside the River Foss made me aware of several dogs going down with a severe but short-lived bug.
The other day walking near a recently felled tree, my dog went out of sight for a few seconds. Looking over, I spied an empty tin of dog food. My thoughts went straight to the mysterious sickness bug I had heard of.
That night, the dog started with the most severe sickness and diarrhoea.
Why anyone would choose to inflict harm or distress on animals is beyond me.
