At the last RDOG2 meeting, two local vets discussed problems encountered by pets in hot weather. This subject came up and they did caution about the damage that can be caused by hot pavement, and discussed some of the cases they had treated. Can't remember all the details, but it made an impression on me. I am now more careful to find my dog places to walk where he can be off the pavement.
While dogs are not stupid, they do follow the lead of their owners. They will walk on the pavement if that is where you will take them.
