Dog show organisers have been branded 'selfish' and 'stupid' for going ahead with their event this weekend despite warnings over the extreme heat that is baking Britain.
The Bournemouth Championship Dog Show faced a backlash from members of the public on social media for continuing with the competition despite temperatures hitting the mid-30s and other shows in the Dorset area cancelling their dog elements.
The Met Office issued an amber warning for this weekend, but the Bournemouth Canine Association decided to proceed with their annual event, insisting that they had a 'lovely cooling breeze and plenty of shaded areas' as well as providing cool water baths for dogs to paddle in.
