In my twenties, I ventured to the South Shore with my dog, eager to bask in the sun. But I recall our fun trip was affected by surrounding wildfires affecting the Tahoe Basin. The sky was a dull grey, devoid of sunshine, and found myself lamenting, “I can’t get a tan.” Unbeknownst to me, the unhealthy air posed risks not only to my health but also to my dog’s well-being.
