An over-heating dog had to be lifted onto a Primark trolley and wheeled home after being outside in searing heat. Members of the public in Basildon town centre rushed to help a bulldog which allegedly collapsed on Monday afternoon (July 18).
They lifted the panting dog onto a trolley, borrowed from the nearby Primark, as its legs buckled beneath it. According to onlookers, the dog was suffering from problems caused by the heat, and its owner said it had taken the pooch outside to cool down, because their home was hot.
One member of the public said the pup panted and dribbled in the 35C heat. They said: "I was walking through the town centre and at first sight, I thought it was someone who had collapsed, but as I got nearer, it became clearer it was a dog.
