Dogs run about 10 degrees hotter than humans, so do you think they regard us as the giant cold ones?

    Dog body temp is ~101-102.5 F (some go as low as 99.5 F). If your dog is 10 degrees hotter than you, you either have hypothermia or they have a severe fever.

    We may be perceived as a little cooler than them but probably not “cold”.

      Oh dog, they meant Fathrenheits! I was thinking 10 degrees Celsius hotter, which sounded even more insane (that’s 18°F if my math is correct).
