My wonder Yorkie even sees the sun she is finding a tree to lay under.

Right, because dogs are immune to pain.

My dog won't even go outside if it is hot out.

What about when the ground is frosted and frozen in the yard? Is that ok? My dog stays outside, so it doesn't really walk on the blacktop because I don't need a dog park or whatever people without yards do with their dogs. But he loves it when it's cold. Can't keep him on the porch.

My dog appears to have a much higher tolerance for cold than I do. And a much lower tolerance for heat.
She seems to be excited and happiest between 30 and 60 degrees.

Your dog might be my spirit animal.
Is she lazy?

I feel bad for the dogs owned by a lot of the people in this thread.
Hopefully these people are just being assholes for the sake of thinking they're funny (they're not) and fishing for upvotes... otherwise there's a lot of clueless dog owners here.
Just because they don't have much feeling on the bottom of their pads and aren't in pain (or showing it) doesn't mean it's okay or safe for them to be walking on.
It gets hot enough in the summer in the south to fry an egg on asphalt, and you actually think it's not going to hurt your dog?

I see dogs walking on blacktop asphalt when it is hot as frick. Without an owner around. Never really thought about it but it seems like if it bothers them they wouldn't do it..

Are you familiar with the composition of the bottom of a canine's paw?
This. Those thick calluses aren't going to feel it unless he's a puppy.

Seriously thanks for that. I can't say I was positive that was the case . I thought maybe the paws were super thick . Now I know.

They will still burn though.
If a human has nerve damage, or is paralyzed, is it okay for them to break their foot or get a huge open wound just because they can't feel it?

The op is right.

My golden doodle just lays down in the grass until we turn around for the house if he's hot. Can't blame him.
But yeah it can really hurt their paws.

Third world problem - My street is tree shaded.

Almost like it has a fur coat or something.

My dog has a nice grass yard to run around. And when I take her for a walk, it's a tree lined area.
Never really crossed my mind, but I know the bottom of their paws is pretty much made to handle something like that.
Now, a wall Mart parking lot in the middle of a 100 degree day seems stupid to begin with.
ETA: I don't walk the dog unless it is evening anyway because I don't want to suffer either lol

Animals are so soft nowadays. Back in my day the dogs used to drag their nuts across the hot asphalt for fun.

Yep. I always walked them in residential areas. Never really paid attention to this, but every neighborhood had grass they could use, so I'm sure they sought it out if it was too hot.
