The temperature was -15F(-26C) and wind chill was -40F (-40C) at about 4:34 pm, at the time of the quick trip outside, 2 to 3 minutes total, in Murdock, Minnesota for Bobby, a Yorkshire Terrier mix breed dog.
The dog’s coat became stiff, as the socks and booties fell off in the arctic climate. Bobby, weighing in at just over 10 pounds, became too cold, couldn’t walk, and had to be carried back into the house to warm up. The second attempt outside included a heavy wool sweater to complete of the dog’s duties outside.
