Morrisons security guard praised for protecting dog with umbrella during downpour

A supermarket security guard has been praised for sheltering a dog from a rain downpour with an umbrella.

The man was snapped outside Morrisons in Giffnock on Sunday morning, as heavy rain hit much of Scotland, the Daily Record reports.

As the rain pelts down, the kindly security guard is photographed protecting the golden retriever from the downpour with a large umbrella.

Mel Gracie tweeted the sweet picture and said: "Shout out to this @Morrisons security man keeping this good boy dry. He said ‘well you never know how dogs feel about the rain’

The post has been liked over 23,000 times, with many quick to praise the man for his kindness with some calling for him to get a pay rise.

One person said: "That is amazing. The fella was like ‘I don’t mind the rain.. but the dog might not fancy it’"

Another added: "Some heroes wear hi-viz jackets."

One wrote: "Just beautiful.. this man deserves a pay rise."

"This is what I needed to see today . Give that man a raise!!" another said.

And someone else said: "Can this employee be recognised for going above and beyond?"

Morrisons replied to Mel's tweet from their own account, saying: "Adorable!"

Freddie's owner also responded, thanking Ethan and sharing a snap of the dog as a puppy.

David Cherry replied, saying: "Thanks to security man @dearmanethan for putting the umbrella over Freddie when it started to rain!

"So kind! He's always so nice to my brother Stuart, my Dad and our Freddie!"
