The summer heat waves have begun, and while people work hard to beat the heat, dogs have to work even harder. That's why so many of them find relief from the hot temperatures by hitting the pool. Swimming isn't for every dog, but many of them figure out how nice that cold water feels on a humid day pretty quickly.
These videos feature dogs who are using the pool to combat the heat and having a great time while doing so. If you need a smile to get you through your heat wave, then check out these clips.
