Picture of the Day: Dog Days of Summer

It's definitely the beginning of the end of summer in Beijing.

The scorching heat we had for a few months has dissipated and now it's definitely comfortable weather.

During the summer months I pitied the poor dogs who were dragged outside in the midday sun by their masters, unaware of what it's like to walk around in the heat with a fur coat on.

However, this little dog here seems to have gotten the right idea -- a clean shave of the fur to cool off.

While his mistress was checking her cellphone, he poked his head out of the car window and a small group of people stared at his pink body and furry head.

He was probably wondering what all the fuss was about since it was probably the first time in a long time he felt really cool.
