WITH regard to the story about the couple and their dog begging in Clacton, which appeared on page five of the Gazette last week.

I wonder why the girl thought it necessary to go to the local paper? Now, most people living in Clacton know all about her and that the council have tried to help, but she wouldn’t stay in the accommodation provided.

Hopefully, people won’t now get so sympathetic. She probably likes the lifestyle she has although its going to get cold living in that shed with winter approaching.

It certainly doesn’t seem like she and her partner want to help themselves, and I’m not surprised people think more of the dog. He’s helpless and unable to find new owners on his own.
