Dallas summers ask a lot of dogs: asphalt holds heat, afternoon storms roll through fast, and many outings start from a driveway rather than a sidewalk. White Rock Lake and neighborhood greenbelts are favorites when temperatures drop enough for a longer loop. Mild winters mean year-round walks, but spring allergies can hit hard for both people and pets.
