11 Ways To Cool Off, As Told By Overheated Dogs

Summer means it's sticky hot. So hot you might be tempted to dissolve into a pool of sweat without doing a thing to help yourself. Fight the urge and grab some ice, because only you can prevent death by melting.

If your brain feels too sizzling to think of cool off solutions, follow the example of these industrious dogs. Rather than complain about the face-dissolving humidity, Fido creates hot weather remedies.

Just don't run naked through the park.
