I read in last week’s Gazette about the plight of Stephanie’s dog Frank, who suffered a fish hook in his tail.

I have a 10 month-old border terrier who encountered the same problem on Thurlestone beach, along with quite a few vacuum-packed packets of bait, totally irresistible to any dog.

We have also had ongoing problems with broken glass on Salcombe’s pavements and pathways.

Any form of rubbish, ­especially the two aforementioned, are a recipe for potential disaster for dogs, especially young ones.
