List of dog breeds most likely to get sunburn including French Bulldog and Boxer
While we Scots know fine well to protect our skin during summer, our pets are also at risk of burning. Scots have seen a series of intense heatwaves already this year, with widespread scorching temperatures recorded all over the country. But while we peely-wally Scots know to lather ourselves in sun cream, many of us don't realise that our dogs are also at risk of burning. But not all dog breeds are the same, and some are more susceptible to burning in the sun than others. Luckily, Dr Charlotte Rice, in-house vet at pet supplement brand YuMOVE, has shared advice on which breeds are most at risk and how to identify sunburn in your pooch. The expert said: 'Dogs with lighter coloured or white coats are generally more at risk than dogs with darker fur. Similarly, dogs with thinner fur or hairless breeds can be at higher risk." Here's everything the expert shared about doggy sunburn and how to prevent it. Which dog breeds are most at risk to sunburn? The expert named several dog breeds that are most at risk of sunburn, due to the fact that they are either hairless or have very thin coats. These included: Chinese Crested Dog Mexican Hairless Dog Boxer Weimaraner Greyhound Dalmatian French Bulldog Bull Terrier These pooches are at a higher risk of burning than their furrier counterparts. How to tell your dog is sunburned Dr Charlotte continued: 'If your dog does have too much fun in the sun, often the first areas to show the effects will be their noses and the tips of their ears, alongside the belly and the tip of the tail (depending on how they've been lying). 'The key signs of sunburn you need to look out for are reddened or sore skin that might be uncomfortable to your dog when you touch the area. Sunburn can go hand in hand with signs of heatstroke, so it is sensible to be vigilant about both on sunny, warm days.' What to do if your dog is sunburned If your dog is severely sunburned, it's best to see a vet as soon as possible. The expert adds: 'If you're concerned your pet may have some sunburn, start by getting them into the shade with some water, and we recommend seeing your vet. They'll help assess the damage, support with any aftercare, and suggest ways to help prevent it in future.' How to protect your dog from the sun Dr Charlotte warns against using human sunscreen on your dog, as many common ingredients in sunscreen are toxic for them, particularly zinc oxide. Opt for a dog-friendly version instead, such as this SPF 50 balm on Amazon for £6.95, or this two-in-one insect repellent and SPF 15 balm from Pets at Home for a tenner. But Dr Charlotte warns that keeping your dog out of the sun is the best idea to prevent sunburn. She says: 'It's wise to keep your dog out of the sun during the heat of the day – typically between 11am and 3pm – although this time-frame can be much wider on hot days. "If you're outside with your dog, aim to provide some shade, such as a sun umbrella. Opt for walks in shady locations, and use pet-friendly sunscreen on those at-risk areas.'

Dunhill: Disobedient grace in a Milanese garden
Dunhill staged the final show on Sunday evening in a beautiful Milanese garden filled with statues of goddesses and cherubs, and its message of sartorial chic with a soupçon of rebellion felt very timely. For decades, young men have been wearing Ralph Lauren to imply their families have been genteel for more than two generations. Perhaps they should think of shopping at Dunhill, where designer Simon Holloway's subtle renovation has led to some great clothes that mine a patrician past with modernist vigor. Any doubt about Dunhill's future was dispelled by the front row, where there was practically major buyer gridlock, especially from Asia. Holloway opened crisply with lots of great putty-hued suits, cool trenches, and a fab series of split suits. Combinations of windowpane check, seersucker, piqué, and sporty checks—all of which looked great. And light, too—underlining the way he has eliminated so much weight from Dunhill fabrics. Which is vital. If you don't think so, try going to get measured for a suit on Savile Row. You practically sweat when you feel the hand of so many UK fabrics. Simon, with his yen for Italian materials, avoids that at Dunhill. He then segued into a series of classic suits, made in feathery cottons and fresh linens, one worn by a gent leading a Weimaraner hound on a leash around the pebble path. 'Disobedient grace,' was Holloway's definition of the collection, blending the style of besuited rock icons like Bryan Ferry and Charlie Watts into legacy clothing. After something of a drop in energy halfway through the show, with too many windowpane check jackets and formulaic sweaters, everything kicked up a gear with some rakish Motorities suede jerkins and coats in soft French lambskin. And—seeing as the main cocktail served was gin-based—a quartet of dandies in silk suits, paisley waistcoats, and Panama hats looked born to drink a good gimlet. Before segueing into cardigans and dressing gowns embroidered with various hounds—from bulldog to boxer—one model strutted by with a beautiful gray Weimaraner on a leash. Before the show reached a climax, a chap in a tartan dressing gown just about managed to guide two nervous-looking white Borzoi hounds around the garden. All staged in the ideal location, the garden of Poldi Pezzoli Museum, with its rare collection boasting works by Botticelli, Bellini, and Mantegna. And all backed up by music from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Not a bad way to end a busy weekend.

Mom and Daughter Play With Balloon—Then Their 82lb Doberman Gets Involved
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A lively Doberman pinscher named Diesel has won hearts across Instagram after a video of him interrupting a mother-daughter balloon game in a hilarious way went viral on the platform. In the clip, shared on Tuesday under the username @diesel_dobie, the poster, Hanny Thomas, and her daughter, from Palm Springs, California, can be seen playing back and forth with a balloon when Diesel decides it's time to get involved. The enthusiastic pup charges at the balloon with the strength of his 82lb body, fatally pawing the balloon, which he eventually ends up popping. "This is the fun you get when you live with an 82 lbs kid," reads layover text in the clip. The poster adds in the caption: "Balloons don't stand a chance around here. Wasabi in the background just taking all in what is going on here." Screenshots of the viral clip show Diesel and his owner, Hanny, playing with a balloon in their living room. Screenshots of the viral clip show Diesel and his owner, Hanny, playing with a balloon in their living room. @diesel_dobie Thomas told Newsweek that Diesel loves a balloon play session with them, and he always gets excited to get involved but also to pop the balloon. "His energy and happiness bring so much joy to our lives. I just want to encourage fellow pet owners to get their dog involved in fun activities as much as possible. They truly love being included—it means the world to them," she said. Doberman pinschers are strong, agile dogs, known for their intelligence and loyalty. But did you know that they were bred on purpose, as safety dogs? In the late19th-century, German entrepreneur and tax collector Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann decided to breed the perfect dog to keep him safe while doing his job, which at the time came with some risks. While it is not certain what breeds were used to achieve this extraordinary canine, the American Kennel Club suggests that they may have used the intelligence, biddability, and stamina of a German shepherd; the strength of the Rottweiler; the pluck and speed of the German pinscher; and the scent ability of the Weimaraner. The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 57,600 views and 3,264 likes. One user, Dragonfire4evr, commented: "He's having so much fun!" said: "We love playing this game, gets intense." Filiuk.l added: "His fur is so shiny i feel like i need this hair care."
