Hungary has rolled out solar heated tunnel shelters designed to protect stray and homeless dogs during harsh winter weather. The structures collect heat from sunlight during the day and keep it trapped overnight, offering warmth and shelter when temperatures drop below freezing.
Animal welfare organizations say these tunnels are already making a real difference. By reducing the risk of hypothermia, the shelters give vulnerable dogs a safer place to rest and a better chance of surviving extreme cold conditions.
