Save the bulldogs! Keep them in air conditioning, it’s too dang hot for them and can be deadly!
That includes English bulldogs, French bulldogs, Pugs, Boston terriers, Boxers, Peckingnese, Shih Tzus, and any other dog with a short snout. All that soft palate and nasal tissue is smashed up into a short airway that doesn’t let them cool down, and it can swell up enough from the effort that it blocks their airway completely. Combine that with the fact that their tongues are usually too big for their mouths and their tracheas are usually too narrow for their bodies, making it an emergency in hot and humid weather.
Head out for a potty break, then come in and teach a new trick for 10-15 minutes for some mental exhaustion. The fall weather will be here some day.
