Heather Mills' recent firework display scared her neighbour's dog to death, the pooch's owner has claimed.Sandra Rowbury - who lives yards from the former model's East Sussex mansion - says her Weimaraner bitch Glow was terrified by the loud explosions and suffered a fatally bloated gut.Rowbury claims the 20-minute display - which animal rights activist Heather failed to warn fellow residents about - also caused 15 of her horses to stampede in terror.Sandra said: "As far as I'm concerned she has hurt my animals. I am distraught Glow died."It was a huge display - the size of a town's celebrations. Everyone else lets people know if they are planning fireworks, so they can move their animals or give them sedatives."She calls herself an animal lover, but she showed no respect for the animals around here."Glow, a healthy five-year-old, died on Sunday (28.10.07) just hours after Heather staged the fireworks to end celebrations for daughter Beatrice's fourth birthday.Sandra added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Heather's lack of consideration has made me, and other people, very angry."
A friend of Heather, the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney, insists she never meant any harm, saying: "Heather and her sister Fiona both had their dogs at the display and neither was affected.
"If this dog has died, Heather will be absolutely devastated. She is a great animal lover. She'd want to apologise to this lady if the fireworks caused her animals any distress."

While I'm no fan of Heather's and I suspect she wouldn't much care on the effect the part might have on her neighbors, I think this dog probably had other problems. Folks, we can't blam... Read More

A few points here:
a) Ms Rowbury NEVER claimed that Heather or her fireworks killed the dog. A duplicitous news agency in Kent made this up... The dog in question sadly died from bloat... Read More
