I am often dumbfounded when I see well intentioned folks walking their beloved dogs in hot weather.  Not only can they put their dog at high risk of a heart attack,they can literally burn the pads on their paws.  So, what I kindly tell folks is if you can’t walk on the asphalt or concrete in your bare feet, neither can your doggie.
