First, you should know that asphalt can be very hot on your dog's paws during hot weather. It's the same as you walking across hot asphalt without any shoes on. Your dog would certainly appreciate walking and running on grass instead.
Dogs can easily develop heat stroke when walking and running in hot weather. They are usually able to cool themselves down by panting. This is the only method that they can use since they only sweat through their paws. This means that they can't perspire in order to cool their entire body down. That's why dogs can easily develop heat stroke during the heat.
The best way to prevent this is to wait to walk your dog when it's cooler outside. If you get up early enough, you should do it before it heats up. Another option would be to wait until later in the evening after the weather has cooled down considerably.
Whenever you do go running with your dog in the middle of the day, it's best that you don't just end the exercise immediately. Your dog needs to walk for a bit before he stops. This will allow him to cool down from the high heat.
It's also important to note that your dog can easily become dehydrated during hot weather. You need to bring water with you to ensure that your dog has plenty of fluids in his body. Make sure that you stop frequently to give your dog chance to drink.
Make sure that you don't' over-exert your dog either. If you notice excess panting, rapid breathing, or staggering, then you need to stop immediately. You will need to find a cool place for your dog to rest in and preferably put wet towels on his body to help him get cool. It may also be in your best interests to call a vet.
Heat stroke is a very serious condition. You need to make sure that your dog doesn't get one when walking and running in the heat. It's best that you just wait until the weather cools down before taking your dog outside. If you do go out though, you only want to provide moderate exercise and bring plenty of water along.
