Hi Lynne and Nick,
I can imagine it must have been embarrassing to have the police speak to you, especially with other patrons watching the proceedings, but I'm afraid I don't understand you comment, "We did not know the rule regarding a dog in a car." At 1pm today, it was 31C; even now, my thermometer says it's 28C - I wouldn't need a rule to tell me that it's too hot to leave a dog in a car today, even if it was parked under full shade and with the windows down.
I'm a dog owner too and I know it can be a nuisance if your woof starts to 'play up' unexpectedly - our mutt is good as gold 99% of the time, but he doesn't like dogs with squashed snouts - even though his best mate is a Frenchie. One day last year, we had to leave our favourite bar in Guardamar, without finishing our drinks, when another customer with two pugs decided to sit at the next table........ LOL!
Put it down to experience - at least you know now.
Kind regards,
Kim
