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.
