Sensing temperature is important for identifying preferable temperatures and avoiding dangerous extremes. The cold pain limit of mammals in general is estimated to approximately 12 °C. I reasoned that such a skin temperature is unlikely to be sustainable in colder climates and studied cold-adapted dogs in northern Sweden using thermography. Skin temperature on the rhinarium (naked nose tip) was 2.
