I will probably get flamed for this no pun intended. Dubai is no place for dogs.. Cats maybe. As a person who has grown up with dogs there is no way I would subject a dog to a life here. People call themselves animal lovers but keep large dogs in apartments cooped up 23 hours a day, I can tell you people like that do not care about animals and are bloody selfish. They are usually the first to cry out at the bad treatment of animals in the meantime subjecting their Labrador to a 10 minute walk in 50 degree heat.
For the dogs sake don't buy dogs here or bring them in from overseas it's just not fair on them.
