This Dublin business is thinking about our furry friends in this hot weather

Melissa Carton

This summer has been the hottest one in decades.

Many of us have used this as a great excuse to nab a slushie or even hit up our local beer garden.

For our four legged friends though it can be a lot harder to keep cool in this hot weather, they can’t exactly walk into a shop and pick up a cold can of soda.

One Dublin business has considered this furry friend dilemma and thought of a way to help out a parched pooch.

On my way home from work yesterday I spotted that Barkin Bubbles on Cork Street, have kindly provided refreshment for any poor doggy in need of a drink.

The business have left out a large bowl of water outside of their door for any thirsty animal to avail of.

This is incredibly thoughtful of a small business and I’m sure a lot of pet owners in the area will be grateful.

Most days I’m close to passing out from the heat myself and I don’t have a fur coat, so I can only imagining how warm it must be for animals.

This is such a simple gesture to help over heated animals and something that any business could take part in.

Would you like to see more water freely available for pets during the summer?
