Dog owner is being called out by social media users after ranting about a fellow beachgoer

Social media users are calling out dog owner for some problematic posts she shared online after her French bulldog was unwelcome into a tent by a fellow beachgoer.

In what might seem as a social media rant, the dog owner identified as Alana Reid, complained that some people on the beach would not let her panting dog sit underneath their beach tent while she waited for her husband to arrive with their own shade.

Ms Reid wrote: “It was a beautiful sunny day, and while trying to find a spot to sit, my Frenchie tried to make himself at home under someone else’s umbrella.”

“The owner looked very unimpressed, so I apologised and went and sat down and sheltered my pooch with my towel, while I waited for my husband to come back with our stuff for the beach.”

Meanwhile, another beachgoer witnessed Ms Reid’s “lukewarm” encounter with the tent owner and proceeded to offer their own shade tent for her pet.

“Her and her husband busily put up the shade tent so just so my boy had some shelter, I was so grateful for the beautiful kind gesture of a complete stranger,” she said.

“Dog people are my kind of people.”

“Kindness costs nothing but it sure made my day, and restored my faith in humanity.”

The post sparked fierce reactions from users, with many split on whether Ms Reid should expect strangers to care for her dog.

One user said: “Is it really unkind to look unimpressed when a strange dog comes under their shade? I would have also looked unimpressed because I don’t like dogs. It’s my problem but I don’t think that is unkind.”

Another defended the beachgoer that was uncomfortable with the dog using their shade tent, pointing out that they may have been allergic.

“Many people have serious allergies to dogs, so you never know. Best to keep your dog beside you or on a lead,” they said.

But another user replied: “Oh those complaining or commenting on not being impressed with the dog stealing a bit of shade – honestly get over yourselves – if you don’t want a dog near you don’t go to a dog beach!! Seriously we are breeding a society of whinging whining annoying people. Give me a dog any day.”

Another said: “I’d love for him to join me anytime. As long as he loved kisses and cuddles.”

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...
