A man has been arrested after three dogs died after being left in a hot car at a Pembrokeshire tourist attraction.
The three labradors were found dead in the vehicle at the animal petting park Folly Farm, Kilgetty, by the owners.

"A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing animal suffering/cruelty and has been bailed pending further enquiries."
Mr Ebsworth said: "This is a very tragic situation and serves as an important reminder as to why you should never leave dogs unattended in a car."
