A pair of dogs was spotted taking shelter in a convenience store during a storm.

Lujille Mokalid noticed the two soaking wet Shih Tzus sitting atop grocery baskets amid ankle-deep floodwater at 7-Eleven in Manila, the Philippines.

Footage shows the canines on leashes, with one of them partially covered by a black cloth on August 22.

The dogs are said to be the pets of a nearby street vendor who was just outside the store.

The Philippines and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries are entering their annual monsoon season, marked by soaring temperatures followed by intense rainstorms.

The region's low-lying geography, inadequate drainage systems, and rapid urbanisation make it especially vulnerable to flooding.

Limited infrastructure often struggles to handle the heavy rainfall, resulting in widespread flash floods.
