Sir, – While I agree that cute furry coats for your pooch are as unnecessary as plastic wrapping on a cucumber (Letters, December 2nd), spare a thought for my own little mutt who, like a chameleon, could be mistaken for seaweed on a beach or dried bracken on a roadside. A high-vis vest is the only answer. – Yours, etc,
ANNE STRAHAN,
