An anxious pet dog sat quietly in the corner of his home, wrapped in a comfort blanket to help her stay calm during a storm.

Footage shows the Shih Tzu named Marble resting silently in the living room, with the cloth covering her body except for her face, in Manila, the Philippines.

Marble listened as the rain pounded on the roof, brought by Typhoon Wipha and the monsoon on July 21.

The canine appeared to self-soothe with his family nearby, using the fabric like a baby swaddle for security.

Pet owner Alexandra Soriquez said: ‘Marble is so cute. She is my emotional support dog, but she is more anxious than me.'

The Philippines and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are at the start of their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms. The rudimentary infrastructure often struggles with the deluge, leading to widespread flash floods.
