The Daily Mail has today published an interview with the 'nurse' who worked undercover at Medivet for tonight's Panorama documentary: It shouldn't happen at a vets (tonight, BBC1 9pm).

Uh? I don't follow the Labradoodle forum. I was just out there looking to see what people are saying elsewhere on the Internet. If I was to get anything, it would have to be a nice atopic terrier, David!
