The Cork branch of Dog Action Welfare Group (DAWG) is urging people who come across distressed dogs during the warm weather to report the incidents to the gardaí or Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA). 

With temperatures now exceeding 25 degrees in some parts of the county, and with the rest of the week set to be even hotter, DAWG say they have been getting numerous calls from concerned members of the public about dogs "in awful conditions".
