Summer Pooches

Wooh! We have had a ton of scorchers here in NYC! With this intense heat, dogs everywhere are panting like crazy and we humans are attempting to keep them cool. How are you doing it? Well, these 10 dogs have come up with their very own methods of cooling down and your pup should take note. Watch as each pooch utilizes his pool, her sprinkler and even a giant water slide to beat the heat. It might even make you feel slightly cooler.(dog walking services nyc)
