Bobby was first taken to Prospect House Veterinary Clinic and Hospital in Colwyn Bay, before his care was passed on to North Clwyd Animal Rescue and K999.

Adam Hobbs, dog behaviourist from K999, was telling ITV correspondent about how animals in his care were prepared for the cold weather, including extra food and underfloor heating.

He said: “If dogs have short hair and a coat, definitely make them wear a coat. If they lick salt on the ground and it gets ingested, it can cause kidney problems, so always wipe dogs clean after walks.

“I’ve got my big coat ready and so have my dogs, so we’ll be OK!”

A statement on Facebook from North Clwyd Animal Rescue added: “Bobby got on the telly!

“I got asked at the last minute to talk to ITV Wales, on behalf of NCAR, about dogs and cats in the cold weather, so I took Bobby along hoping he'd get some screen time!

“Bobby was brilliant while they filmed him, having coats and jumpers put on and off, doing his sits, paws and waits.

“He was a perfect TV dog, really.”
