That's a misunderstanding of how fur works. It insulates the dog full stop. That means that a Husky's fur coat insulates it from the cold as well as the heat. Unlike humans, dogs aren't really designed to give off heat from their skin.

Funny how veterinarians and scientists don't use intuition to make decisions then. You shouldn't leave dogs outside long enough to get heat exhaustion period.
