We all know what to do now that summer is in full swing in Arizona – we stick to the highly specific regime of:
You get the point!
But time and time again we hear stories not of humans being burned by the sun but pets instead…
We know our Zanes community out there is a BIG lover of animals and many of you have dogs as well…
Dogs that have to be walked…
