Problem:
A human's body temperature averages at around 98.6°F
A dog's body temperature averages at around 101.5°F
If the temperature outside is 45°F who would feel colder?
The dog's temperature is higher than the human. So you would assume since its temperature is higher it would feel warmer than the human.
However, the temperature difference between the body and the external temperature is the following:
Difference in humans internal and ambient temperate: 52.6°F
Difference in dog's internal and ambient temperate: 56.5°F
I'd like to know as I keep telling my mom that the dogs feel hot when she puts on doggy sweaters for them when its slightly cold for us humans. Justify it.
