Kaye Adams asks if listeners want to see armed police on the streets and if people are over-humanising their pets.

Rank-and-file police officers in Scotland are expected to hold an emergency on debate whether more of their number should carry guns. The discussion will take place at Scottish Police Federation's annual conference on Tuesday. It follows the terror attack on Westminster last week when four people were killed, including PC Keith Palmer.
