Abstract
A comparison of man and dog [1 subject each] with respect to their ability to dissipate the heat produced in exercise indicates that dog is superior to man in the laboratory at ordinary temps. A significant difference is that the dog supplies his own air movement over dissipative areas while man depends on external air movement. In the hot desert man has a greater working capacity than the dog. The dry skin of the dog may become hot enough to allow inward conduction of heat. Under conditions comfortable for man the dog may have an increasing body temp., notwithstanding excessive panting.
