'Lucky' dog rescued in SA heatwave

A dog named Lucky has been rescued from an outdoor toilet block on a 38-degree day in Adelaide.

A man and a woman, both 47, were reported for animal mistreatment after police found the Staffordshire cross, locked in the unventilated room overnight with no water, in the Hectorville unit block on Sunday.

Nicknamed `Lucky', the dog is thought to have been taken from a nearby park last week and the RSPCA is looking for her owner.

The man and woman will be summonsed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.
