Dogs can recognize their puppies through smell, sight, sound, and memory, and give them special care—but ability varies by individual, and long separation blurs the scent and face so they may no longer know them.

Summer Dog-Walking Survival Guide (With Heatstroke First Aid)
Dogs have almost no sweat glands and cool mainly by panting, so above 28 C their cooling efficiency drops below a fifth of ours, and asphalt can hit 57 C while a dog's belly, only 20-30 cm off the ground, breathes air 5-8 C hotter. That makes summer walks risky. Walk before 7 a.m. or after 8 p.m. in shaded parks or grass, carry a folding bottle and offer water every 15 minutes, and cap time by breed, short-nosed dogs under 15 minutes in shade, sport breeds rest 5 minutes per 10 of exercise, small dogs under 10 minutes several times a day. Heatstroke can reach organ failure in 30 minutes; early signs are heavy panting, dark purple tongue, thick drool, then staggering and vomiting above 40 C, and seizures or coma with up to 80% death if untreated. First aid: move to shade, wipe groin/armpits/neck with room-temp water, give small sips if awake, keep head low, and rush to a vet.
