Street dog beats heat with Bucket Bath at Ferozepur Press Club
Ferozepur, May 25, 2025:This heartwarming photograph was captured by a Babushahi reporter during a visit to the Ferozepur Press Club campus. The image, which quickly gained attention for its perfect timing and caption — "When the heat hits hard, but the bucket is life — street dog’s summer spa day!" — shows a street dog cooling off in a bucket of water amidst soaring temperatures.
As mercury levels continue to rise across Punjab, this simple act of relief reflects the instinctive search for comfort and survival by animals. The moment also serves as a gentle reminder to citizens to show kindness and empathy toward stray animals struggling to cope with the harsh summer. A little care — like keeping water bowls outside — can go a long way.
