This is absolutely tragic and so irresponsible 😭 I’m in panic mode as soon as it hits 20 nevermind forcing dogs out in these temps… I’d rather lose some income than take the risk. And I’d like to think clients would rather that.. than this. I just cannot fathom this at all 😔
That poor baby. RIP wee girl ❤️🌈
🆘 A dog has died today through being walked in this intense heat by a dog walker (who is not in the Ayrshire area) 🆘
We are sharing the text in the post but not the full post because there’s things in it to identify the dog walker and that’s not our business.
Please don’t walk your dogs in this heat! This dog was returned home deceased at 11.23am according to cctv.
Run free beautiful. Failed by a human 😭❤️🩹
This post is not to apportion blame to the owner, it’s to highlight what we keep saying, IT’S too hot to walk your dog and we would hope dog walkers would explain to owners why they can’t walk their dogs during this extreme weather - so please stop posting about owner, have compassion, they have lost their fur baby. We don’t have time to keep deleting comments. Thanks.

This is 2 year-old Shelby 🥺❤️🩹
Today, Shelby was taken out for a walk in the intense heat by a well-known local dog walker. Tragically, she never made it back alive. Despite being told she was “fine” upon being dropped off, CCTV footage later revealed the heartbreaking truth — that Shelby had already passed before she was returned home.
Shelby, my heart aches for you and your loving family. Your life was stolen far too soon, and the pain left behind is immeasurable. You deserved so much more — safety, care, and a life full of joy.
Run free now, Shelby. You were loved, and you always will be. 🌈🐾
Please only thoughts and love for this family and no negative comments.
We did not know the situation of why the dog walker was walking the dog and we have deleted all previous comments about the owner as this isn’t about that it’s about highlighting what can happen walking dogs in the heat.
However one slipped through and the owners son has clarified - so we respectfully ask there’s no reference to owners being to blame. Respect a family who are grieving please.
“My mum isnt fit to take the dog out a walk as she has ms and motability aint great. Was only supposed to be out a quick 20 min because of the weather but returned an hour later in his arms”.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED.
Thanks Liz.
