i think it’s just showing shortest fur
Hollow fur helps insulate the dog and keeps the heat trapped.
They nestle their noses into their tail to breathe warm air into their fur, don’t they? I wonder if that’s what’s keeping his little face warm
My Brittany with her heavy coat probably looks similar. Snow doesn’t even melt on her.
I had a malamute and he demanded to stay outside in 0 degree midwest temps. He would not come in. He was lethargic all through the summer and would suddenly get energy during the winter when it was below freezing. They are just built for cold weather.
If a furrier could synthesize husky fur the goose population would skyrocket.
No one in these comments understands how insulation works? Fur is insulation folks and the shorter hair on the face is the giveaway to that.
Sled dogs sleep in the same way, they can be completely buried in snow during a storm (literally look like bumps in a field) and still maintain their body heat. It’s pretty incredible
Ol’ hotface

Even when sleeping they’re such hotheads!
That’s impressive insulation.
Sleeping? Aren’t it’s eyes open?
Some folks here are missing the point: the fact that the body emits no heat (infrared) signature means that it’s very well insulated, keeping all the heat inside the body with virtually none escaping to the surrounding air because of the very effective fur, fat, skin, etc.
The point is not the heat-emitting face, it’s the non-heat-emitting body. The face is not “hot”, it’s in fact losing heat, so the pup feels the coldest on the face.
why the face is showing red on thermal?
Hey, give him some privacy please. 😴
Valcor, The Luck Dragon.
He’s got what Japanese buildings desperately need!
I thought it was Moo Deng…
That’s just a warm fart.
Forbidden cockatiel.
So cozy
I thought it was a snake lashing at the camera
Remember, the spots where we see heat are the spots where the dog feels cold.
