Newfoundland died from heat, after groomer allegedly ignored owner's warnings about using hot dryers

Poor dog, this is inexcusable.

Only yesterday I saw a Bernese (I think it was) which had just got a 2nd in its class. His owner was queuing at a snack stand and saying "poor freddy, I know you're hot" and he did look uncomfortable. And although the day was a bit humid it was only about 20 degrees C. It must be a nightmare owning a thick coated dog if you live outside the Arctic Circle.

Poor dog.

The cooling coats were out in force again yesterday ....though the guy ion the Easidri stand told me 23 degree was the magical figure , Tom had his on for a short while

Yes, Tommy certainly seemed to appreciate his cooling coat.

I sweated buckets when Tommy was in the ring - I wonder whether dogs get as hot and bothered as we do under certain situations?

What a disgrace!  That poor dog.

Our friend had a newfy. His name was Waldo. He & my rottie played together at the beach so often.... swimming, digging sand, running like ferrals...... A beautifully natured breed. They had a pool for him. They do not do well with heat.

That is very sad.
