    Leaving a puppy in van whilst you work?

    Evening all. I have just got a puppy labrador, he's 10 weeks old and I've taken a week off to spend a bit of time with him, but I need to get back to work. The idea is for him to come out in the van with me and I just wondered if anyone else does this and if they have any problems? Cheers guys.
