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?

Yes, I'm Imperial.

Dogs are 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than adult humans not 10. A temperature above 104°F needs urgent veterinary help.

Note that human babies and young children are also warmer than adults by about a degree.

That's quite helpful to know. I will research my incorrect assumptions.

That still sounds too much 108.7?
