Yes I agree, but the dog wasn't walked on grass, and if it was left in a hot car then it the owner would be done for animal cruelty..so whats the difference if its walked on a pavement in red hot weather!!!! that's animal cruelty...look at the poor dogs pads, I can't justify that as been a careful owner with common sense.

And neither can I! However, you said......
If someone hasn't got the common sense to refrain from walking their dogs in really hot weather then they should'nt have a dog in the first place simples.
Which implies ALL owners who exercise their dogs in really hot weather, not just the muppet in question. Surely, part of being a responsible owner is putting yourself in the dogs place, checking it's condition as you proceed on your walk, sitting under the shade of a tree, or a bridge, with your dog, to give it a rest, and as I said, letting it have a paddle, or a swim.
This was taken of our JR last week, on a really hot day. You can soon tell if your dog is OK, provided you tune into it's feelings.
