St Bernard struggles in balmy Bangkok

Published

A two-foot tall St Bernard dog called Milo is struggling to cope with the heat in Bangkok.

While the St Bernard originates from the Swiss Alps and was initially bred as a rescue dog, Milo resides in Bangkok, Thailand, according to The Daily Mail.

With temperatures at 33DegC the pooch, who was spotted out padding the streets for a walk with his owner, is struggling.

 He looked desperate for a drink of water, but was able at least to use his mighty tongue to regulate his body temperature.

As all children learn, dogs' tongues becomes larger during exercise because of increased blood flow and tend to hang out of the mouth.

Thus, when a dog pants, its quick shallow breaths cause moisture on the tongue to evaporate - thus cooling the entire body.
