Are we the "Cold Ones" to our dogs?
Are we the "Cold Ones" to our dogs?
Dogs run about 10 degrees hotter than humans, so do you think they regard us as the giant cold ones?

Heat transfer works both ways - so if they feel you as cold then you'd feel them as warm. In my experience dogs usually don't stand out to me as being particularly warm so I'd guess their fur is a good enough insulator to prevent much heat transfer during normal casual contact. It's been a few months though, maybe I've just forgotten how warm the embrace of a dog is.
You don’t feel much difference because they aren’t ten degrees hotter. OP is mistaken.
