The pictures, which have since gone viral, shows the man take off his jacket to shelter the shivering animal, while its owner shopped in Marks and Spencer, as the rain battered down.

A shop worker, Jon Sparkes, saw the heart-warming moment and even gave the couple two umbrellas to shelter themselves and the dog.

They stayed with the pet until its female owner came out of the store 20 minutes later.

Onlookers said she appeared grateful and thanked the couple for looking after her dog.

Mr Sparkes, an assistant manager at Dover Gala Bingo, said: "The rain was coming down really hard but these two people saw the dog was tied up to the lamppost and basically gave it shelter.

"As you can see the dude has taken his top off to protect the dog - the dog was there before the rain came.

"They've selflessly protected the dog from rain and we've seen that and gave them umbrellas.

"They were really grateful and they waited there until the owner came back who was also very grateful to the couple.'

"It really is quite heart-warming to see acts of kindness like this.

"It made us want to help too. It's nice to be nice - do something good today."
