The Silence of Dogs in Cars

No doubt I have some die-hard dog lovers reading this blog, along with myself. I’m not sure how these photographs will go down. I can only admit that I’ve left my dog in the car for short periods of time when popping into a shop to do an errand, because I assumed they wouldn’t allow…
