Family's fury as bulldog dies 'after being left in conservatory in heatwave'

A woman is heartbroken by the death of her bulldog after a sitter allegedly left him overnight in a conservatory during a heatwave. Nikki Morton from Caerphilly went through dog boarding service Rover to find a sitter for 21-month-old Teddie.

The bulldog died overnight last Sunday while staying with the sitter in Barry. Nikki said the sitter called her the next morning with "no sympathy, no care... nothing other than 'your dog is dead'".

She claims the sitter admitted keeping Teddie in the conservatory after being asked not to do so. Rover said it has launched an investigation and removed the sitter from its platform. Police are also investigating.
