Please Can He Come In?

Science reporter Graeme Quirk says that you can reduce your heating bill simply by letting your dog come inside with the family on cold winter nights. To work out how much you’ll save, compare the body heat radiated by the dog with the amount of heat produced by a gas or electric heater. Even a small dog generates enough body heat to save about 60 cents over the winter period. For additional free energy, consider sharing your lounge room with a St Bernard or a Great Dane (but don’t forget to balance the power savings with the cost of fuelling a larger dog!).
