The services sound like something out of “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” but the canines walking through the doors at Two Hands Four Paws are not pampered little pooches; instead, they’re dogs with serious injuries and health issues.

We’ve reported before on the proliferation of natural-gas powered vehicles in the heavily oil-sanctioned state of Iran. Now we’ve got some further very dramatic circumstantial evidence that not all of the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles are as safe as their Iranian owners would hope.
