It's sad when another organisation rips off your tour and passes it off as their own research. I think next year we may need to bring back the ghost tours and make sure people get the proper tour not one full of mistakes.

The high heat of summer can becomes extremely hazardous for your dogs paws. There is a simple test in which you can do to check whether the pavement is too hot for your pet's paws by doing the “seven-second test”. Simply touch the pavement with the back of your hand for seven seconds. If you can’t hold out for the full seven seconds because the surface is too hot, then it’s also too hot for your dog’s paws.
