Danny Cruttwell came to the rescue of two dogs after the owner had left them in a hot car outside a supermarket in the UK, even as the country experiences a deadly heatwave.

The scaffolder captured the video as he confronted the owner in the car park of the Tesco Extra in Broadbridge Health in Horsham, Sussex, on July 24, 2018.

Cruttwell shared the video of his rescue and his subsequent conversation with the dog’s owner on his Facebook account.

The man, from Crawley, ended up saving two little puppies from the car at a time when the temperature, according to a reading from his car, was 33 degrees Celsius, or 91F.

The video shared on the social-networking site has garnered a lot of interest with over 3.6 million views and more than 54,000 shares.

The clip begins Cruttwell approaching the car to let the two dogs out, although it is unclear how long the two animals were inside the vehicle.

He offers the two some water to drink before their owner returns, claiming that she had been in the supermarket for just “two seconds.”

The scaffolder claims that he had been filming for almost three minutes before she returned to her car.

He tells her, “You can’t leave your dogs in a car like this.” He says that the car was already parked when he arrived and was still there once he was back shopping in the parking lot.

“You’re lucky I never smashed your window open. There’s a puppy in there. It’s 33 degrees. Look at that puppy in there. It’s a beautiful dog.”

The dogs’ owner, however, claimed that the man was not in the car park when she arrived. She also warns him not he arrogant to her.

Cruttwell did not find difficulty opening the door as it was unlocked. He says that if he were a thief, he would “have had these,” pointing towards the car.

The man was seen petting the dogs asking if it was hot. A group of people had gathered around and he asks one of them to get the dog some water.

Britain is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave this summer, with temperatures set to rise to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

According to Daily Mail, people have been advised to stay indoors between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. At the start of July, a ‘fit and healthy’ five-year-old dog died in north-west England due to heat stroke after being taken on a walk at 9 a.m.
