Like humans, animals also struggle to deal with the scorching heat of summers. But while we indulge in scoopfuls of refreshing ice-creams to send away the heat, our pets continue to bear the brunt of it.

Dogs make for extremely loyal and loving pets, which is why it is not surprising that nearly 68% of all US households have them.

If you are planning on bringing your dogs to work, here’s what to expect.
