It depends on how hot it is, the temperature of the pavement, and each dog's tolerance for heat. Too, if you are seeing coyotes in the early morning, that's a daylight problem.

I used to walk our dog a few miles after dark due to his intolerance for heat. I don't do that anymore. If it's not poisonous frogs in the street, snakes in the bushes, or alligators roaming, it's now coyotes.
