50 Cute Pets That Tried Paw And Tail To Escape Summer Heat
This summer was terrifyingly hot. Many countries in the Northern Hemisphere were plagued by extreme heatwaves that broke all the records. A lot of people also suffered from the consequences of that heat – excessive rain that caused flooding and droughts that helped fires swallow up huge expanses of land.
With summer temperatures increasing every year, many pet owners are getting more and more concerned, too. This year, a lot of them were forced to consider how to keep their four-legged buddies safe during extreme heat.
The list below shows the most ingenious pet attempts to fight the heat. From licking ice cubes to hiding in fridges, pets are using many creative ways to stay cool.

It Was Too Hot, So He Found The Only Shade
Shark Lady 3 years ago
Why would you take your dog on a hike when it's so hot his paws need protection. I saw an episode of Animal Cops where a couple called for help because their two dogs weren't coping with the heat on a long hike. One of the dogs died before help got there.

I find ice blocks work quite well. Or a wet towel on the floor. Here is Western Australia it can get seriously hot
