A stray dog rescued from the car park at West Middlesex Hospital has been reunited with her owners.

Kizzy was reported to the Hounslow Animal Welfare team last Friday (June 17) after she was seen hiding from the searing heat beneath a car outside the local hospital.

At the scene Animal Welfare officers Andy and Caroline crawled underneath the vehicle to gently coax the small dog out and into their van.

Posting about the rescue on social media, Hounslow Council said Kizzy, although "a bit hot under the collar and dirty" was microchipped and successfully reunited with her owners.

Hounslow's stray dog service operates fully air conditions vans and kennels throughout summer, helping dogs remain cool while they are safely returned home.
