Heavyweight champion David Haye has presented the world’s first weather forecast for dogs to warn pet owners against leaving their pooches in cars.
In the video Haye, also known as “The Hayemaker”, talks about his two Chihuahua’s Oscar and Milly, who he explains are terrified of thunderstorms.
The ‘Weather Pawcast’, launched by More Than Pet Insurance, pinpoints areas in the UK where hotter temperatures and humidity levels could put some dogs at risk of heat stroke.
A temperature risk scale, developed by veterinary experts, is displayed in the clip, telling dog owners areas where it will be difficult for their pets to stay cool.
Haye, a WBA champion, said: “I’ve been a two weight world champion and fought in front of millions but being a weatherman for dogs is definitely a first.
“However, as a dog lover and owner I know too well the hazards our four legged friends face on a hot day.”
This weekend soaring temperatures are predicted, with London expected to hit 28C. Last week a dog died in a car travelling on a ferry from Calais to Dover when owners were told to leave their pets in the vehicle.
