Sergio Mendoza of Kennewick and his dogs Mojo, left, and Dozer keep cool Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012 on a raft at Two Rivers Park in Finley, Wash. As temperatures climbed into the triple digits Tuesday Mid-Columbians flocked to area rivers and parks. Mendoza said his dogs love the water and their rides on the raft and in fact finds it hard to keep them off. The National Weather Service is again calling for highs into the upper 90’s and low 100’s today with winds gusting to 30 mph in the afternoon. (AP Photo/Tri-City Herald, Richard Dickin)
