    lol relax your dog is not dying or anything, he/she is just a bit hot.

    Dogs don't sweat and even if they did, they are covered with fur so the fur

    would insulate them and keep the heat in. So they pant to get rid of excess

    heat from their bodies. The heat turns the water in their mouths into water

    vapor. In other words, the heat is used for a different purpose; instead of

    heating the dog's body, it is used to evaporate the water from the dog's

    mouth.

    It could be a number of things, but mainly that is the way dogs sweat, I have a toy poodle/i have no idea but she does that all the time, so don't worry. But maybe if it does that too much you should take it to the vet, it could be something else, so I would be careful.

    Poodle Pants

    Panting is the dog's "inner air conditioner". Dog's also pant when in pain, so perhaps a vet visit would be a good idea.

    It sounds as if he/she is nervous, or perhaps is in an overheated room.
