Dogs being walked when it’s too hot - do you say anything?

I’ve just seen two brachy breeds (a pug and a bulldog) being walked when it’s 27 degrees outside. Both were clearly struggling. Every year I get really upset seeing dogs being walked when it’s clearly far too hot but am scared of saying something in case the owners react aggressively. Equally, I feel terrible NOT saying anything because those dogs have no voice.

How do you handle this?

Those whose dogs wont toilet in their gardens then if you walk at 6am or 7am it's fine. I was out at 6.30 it was lovely. Far too hot now that's what we take her out early.

Much cooler here now, and cloudy. My husband’s out with the dogs. We’ve been walking them at 7am and about 8pm all week. This is the first afternoon it’s not been baking at this time.
