As to why it matters, it's because you seem to think he's not getting enough exercise. He gets plenty.

As to dog parks, he goes berserk at black dogs. Why? When he was a young pup, several black dogs attacked him at a dog park. He was a 10lb Bichon Frise attacked by 75lb water buffalos of some sort or another.

You seem to think we're ignoring our boy. He normally gets 5-7 "walks" a day. Missing one when it's 92 degrees out is not going to harm him.

We can also let him do a bio break in the grass at our villa. No interest most of the time, he just wants to be nosey and sniff all the pee mail on the street.
You really are not understanding this thread at all. This thread is about the risk of hot asphalt to a dog's paws when their owner takes the dog for a walk, on hot asphalt.

The subject is: hot asphalt vs. a dog's paws

My post was to suggest options for people who have dogs that they walk, to prevent the hot asphalt from burning their paws because hot asphalt can burn a dog's paws.

Three options for people who walk their dogs, who don't want those paws to get burned:

have the dog walk on the grass instead of the hot asphalt
take him to the dog park instead of taking him for a walk on the hot asphalt
buy booties for the dog to wear when you take him for a walk on the hot asphalt.
