30-35C+? Should I walk my dog???

Do you guys walk your dog when it's 30-35C+? I have a Shiba Inu, let me put it this way, he loves to sleep in -25C snow, so this weather is unbearable for my poor little guy.

I'm not sure how to give him what he needs without exhausting him. I have no access to ponds/rivers (and he won't go in them anyways), he won't chase a ball in the yard (he likes being sprayed with a hose). I am 8 months pregnant with another baby and it's impossible for me to climb down to the ravine/lake shore with all of them.

What to do?!?!?! I walked him at 6am and he was already panting. I'm from Vancouver so I've never had to deal with this heat before. We're in Montreal now.

Oh this is just for M-Thurs, on the weekends my husband takes him down to the ravine, just the 2 of them, and he can cool off. But I need advice for the week days.
