Mum praised for making teen quit hobby and get job to pay £2,000 vet bill

A mum-of-three has been praised for teaching her teenage daughter an important life lesson after she left the family's pet dog outside all day in a heatwave. The young girl, named Janie, has been forced to quit her favourite hobby and get a part-time job to pay off the £2,000 vet bill.

Taking to Reddit, the woman explained that her chihuahua cross, Pebble, fell seriously ill as a result of her 15-year-old daughter's actions. It was Janie's responsibility to make sure the dog was inside before going to school - and when she forgot, Pebble collapsed in scorching 41C heat.
