Re: Dogs taking a dip heats them up???
Was watching Survivorman a couple months ago (shameless plug - Best show Ever - Fri 10pm on Science Channel) and the episode centered on being lost at sea... maybe it was 'I shouldn't Be Alive: Science of Survival' but I digress..
They discussed how even in 85-90 degree water you can get hypothermia if you stay in the H20 long enough. Cold water is much harsher than cold air in terms of keeping your core body temp up. So I don't think it heated the dogs up but perhaps it cooled them down a bunch so they were panting or something to heat back up... not a dog guy - we have a cat household. This barely relates but I find interesting info none the less.
