I'd like to make a note about the dangers of the very high dew point. Dew point is the point at which water evaporates. The higher the dew point the slower the evaporation. The reason for the delay is that high dew point means excessive moisture that's ambient in the air and it is so saturated that it cannot accumulate anymore at a significant rate. This is where it becomes dangerous for you and your dog. You can sweat as much as you want but there's no assistance from it. The only thing is happening is you're losing water. I have a good example here of the dangers. Water spilled out of the back of my truck at about 12:00. I returned to my truck right now at about 2:30 and the water has not fully evaporated. That stuff should have been gone in less than a minute but because the water in the air is so thick it is not able to evaporate so it stands. Here is a picture example.
