Go outside and pant and see if you get dehydrated. You lose moisture through your skin even if you don't perspire, horses sweat. The dog just perspires through its mouth and nose. Cooling off is the most important in a heat stroke but they could also be dehydrated. You should try to prevent dehydration but it is just as bad as a heat stroke and can look the same to a person. Because the dog can't talk you treat both. Maybe a vet can say it better but that is my try.
