REGARDING the letter on dog pampering (The Argus, August 3), I was disappointed to hear Mrs Thomas and G Finlay’s views about not letting dogs into cafés.

My dog is my constant and only companion. I treat him as a child and he often behaves better than a child. He likes to sit up at a table in a café with his own cup of tea and cake.

I would be very lonely without him so please do not take away an old lady’s one pleasure.
