Temperature - 100.5 to 102.5
Heart rate - 180 beats a minute for puppies
60-160 beats per minute for most adult dogs
180 beats a minute for toy breeds Respiration -10 to 30
The normal respiratory rate for dogs is 16 to 20 breaths per minute. The normal heartrate is 70 to 160 bpm. Large dogs tend to have slower heart rates so your dog should be in the 70 to 120 bpm range. This varies according to the cardiovascular fitness of the dog, too. The more active the dog is the slower its resting heartrate will be.
Pulse - 60 to 120

no, generally, their heartbeat should be faster, since they are smaller.
Smaller dogs, like birds have much faster heartbeats, it requires more energy to be a small animal, being larger is better for efficiency of blood pumping and heat.

what do you mean? Do you mean does the heart work in the same way? If so yes. Blood goes into one chamber via a vein, then through the heart and out via an artery. If you mean the same heart rate, then no. it is faster. The smaller the animal, the faster the heart rate.

A dog's heartrate varies according to its age and size. Larger dogs have slower heartrates than small or toy dogs.
Normal for adult dogs can vary from 60-160 beats per minute depending on the dog's size.

Normal for adult humans can vary from about 60-100 beats per minute, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate
so it would depend on what size dog you are comparing with a human.

No, not the same speed if thats what you mean. The basic pumping motion of the heart is the same though and it does the same thing ie circulates blood throughout the body.
