Here’s What Iowa Says About Breaking A Car Window To Save A Dog On A Hot Day
It's toasty outside and we want to help our animals stay cool. Sometimes we've seen it play out in real life: you're leaving the store, stomping back to your car in 90% humidity. It's hot, you're sweaty, and you glance at a nearby car. You see a pup in it, with rolled-up windows and the car isn't running.

Why Your Dog’s Paws Smell Like Fritos

ALERT: Pigeons are Driving Buses in Cedar Rapids
I don't know how you feel about pigeons driving but if Iowa thinks they have decent vision and can operate a motor vehicle, fine. At some point, someone had to test Deer to know what colors they could and could not see. I'd guess it's the same with pigeons. An ophthalmologist, out there, gave a pigeon an eye test and then sent them to the DMV. They must have passed the driver test or there wouldn't need to be a musical about how pigeons shouldn't drive buses. If we're to believe the musical, it's not such a hot idea. Should we let pigeons drive in Iowa?
