DOG'S DINNER: Woman treats pet dog to full roast dinner every Sunday
A mum has admitted that every single weekend she treats her dog to a roast dinner – giving her pooch the exact same meal as her human family.
In most households, the dog is as much a member of the family as anyone, so it stands to reason that they should get a special treat as everyone else.

“It’s ridiculous really.
"Over the course of 14 meals in a week, one small splash of gravy isn't going to do him any harm.
"I just think it’s so sad that people can be so negative about such a wholesome happy post.”
Sarah started giving her pooch the treat when she realised how much he was enjoying the leftovers of the family meal.

The picture proved slightly controversial, with some viewers criticising Sarah for feeding him human food – pointing
