With the new rental laws coming in I’ve Just read about a single nhs worker who has a dog.
She cannot get a rental property because of this. If she’s working 10 hour shifts is it right to leave a dog that long.

A link to the article would help...

Is she really leaving the dog for 10 hours, or is a journalist ssttrreettcchhiinngg the truth for a story... again...?

well i suppose if the nhs worker is on nights then leaving a dog for that length of time needn't be a problem, the dog would mostly be sleeping and during the day she may very well have a dog walker coming in to give the pooch some exercise and company..
and of course she may have had the dog before this level of shift work happened and not wished to have to rehome a canine friend that she'd had for many years..

who are we to judge when we don't know the facts or the back story..

Many of my colleagues have dogs, they all employ a dog sitter or dog walker.

I hope you're not suggesting there could possibly be inaccuracies inthe story.

First I would be grateful that she is an NHS worker, not be so quick to cast criticism when you may not be aware of the circumstances, unlikely that she would leave the dog on its own to cause distress, dogs in rehoming centres probably have more discomfort than a dog in a comfortable and caring home. We live next door to a couple of nurses who mostly work nights in a high dependency unit. The dogs alway go out for long walks before and after their shifts, and quite often midday, if their shifts change us and other‘s will always walk the dogs if asked. Both dogs from rescue centres and troubled past. Who’s the better placed dog??

Two that I rent out have dogs, they are welcome but I insisted they have someone to let them out when they are working
I just think dogs cooped up for 8 hours could start making the place stink and if bored chew.
In the end it’s the landlords property and should be their rules.
If the government think otherwise let them buy up the houses and let them out

Of course it’s the truth
