Louise White asks if it is disrespectful to break with funeral traditions.
TOPIC 1: DANGEROUS DOGS
Another horrific dog attack has left a family in Wales grieving for their baby girl and only last week saw another fatality caused by a family pet. The Scottish government is currently consulting on greater restrictions for dogs and owners including muzzling, micro-chipping and a return of licensing. Also today the SSPCA have released figures to say that it's been their busiest year with one animal ban issued every week. So how much is the owner to blame rather than the dog?
Louise asks: Should dogs ever be kept in a house with a child?
TOPIC 2: FUNERALS
'Making a mocha-ry of tradition! Coffee-lover is buried in Costa-themed coffin'. This was one of the headlines reporting the story about the themed coffin in Swindon. Karen Lloyd was carried into her funeral in Swindon in a costa-themed coffin chosen by her family to celebrate her love of coffee.
