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?

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.
