the carpark?? So if they come again someone in authority might be
there to see it. The trouble is if they can treat the dog like that now
what will happen to it in their retribution if anything is said. Dilemma.

It may be pointless to say anything but I would have had to say something, I wouldn´t be able to help myself. Normally there are plainly seen notices on or near escalators regarding carrying animals, small children etc. surely it is not wrong to point this out to such people.27-02-2015, 11:00 AM

That is good idea, Carol. I will speak to someone when I go in next week. It may not stop pig ignorant people like them, but it could give someone dealing with the problem, more 'power to their elbow,' if a formal warning notice was being ignored.

They didn't have a car Twiz. They were just using Asda's as a short cut from the High Street, down the escalator, through the car park to the next road.
I kerb crawled up the road behind them for a while to see if they hurt the dog anymore, but they didn't. I was rather hoping I could see which house they went into, but I got to traffic lights and couldn't hold up the traffic and had to move on.
The trouble is nowadays, you never know if you'll get a knife in the ribs for speaking out of turn, and it was almost dark by then as well.
