-However
It does appear at least by a cursory search that these temperatures are indeed accurate. I personally would never walk my dog on asphalt, but I do recognize where sometimes it might be a necessity.
One tip a lot of dog health sites agree on is this.
Place your hand on the asphalt for 10-30 seconds. If you can't keep your hand on it for that long, then the surface is too hot for the pads on a canine's feet.
If someone come across better info please share it and let me know.
As always, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Not only will burns be traumatic to your pet, but traumatic to your wallet when you have to take them to the vet for treatment.
