Soaring temperatures have lately caused folks to find creative and innovative ways to get or stay cool, but this pup, Nelly, has gone the more traditional route: head-to-tail soaking in cool water.
The level of relaxation and chill achieved by this sweet dog is enviable, though we know that not everyone has access to such a gorgeous and tranquil setting. A cold shower could produce a similar effect, as can an ice cube wrapped up in a bandana and placed on the back of the neck.
Extreme heat can cause serious health problems, which is why many states and cities have set up cooling centers. If you or someone you know does not have access to the solutions listed above available to them, please go to one of these places so that you can keep your cool. A list of cooling centers in Los Angeles County is here, and for our readers in other places, we recommend googling the phrase “cooling centers” and your county.
