Hey, Dr. Science-Patterson! Why do dogs pant when they get hot? Canine CLover in Brentwood, CA
Dear Canine CLover, Hey, kids! If you frame the question correctly, you don’t have to bother Dr. Science-Patterson! For example, a better way perhaps to pose this question is “When dogs aren’t panting, why aren’t they?” or, actually, to really get at crux of the issue “Why DO dogs pant?” And an even better question is “Dogs pant because they sweat only on their tongues and need to cool themselves, yes?” This practically answers itself.
