Someone else asked: “At what point does it start to look like an animal welfare issue? The balconies get so hot, surely you can’t leave dogs out there for any amount of time?”
Another neighbour wrote: “Can’t be good for the dogs barking like that all day and night.”
Now on Instagram, a fan questioned Faye about the claims.
The follower commented: “Is it true you do not care for your dogs?”
Faye responded: “Of course I care about my dogs, they’re my world.”
