Some very strange answers here but the dog sweats through it's pads. Just walk your dog over a shiny floor if you want proof!

A dog can sweat through his feet pads, anus and tongue. He does not have the heat releasing mechanisms of many other animals. Dogs are susceptible to heatstroke and other related problems. Dogs that were bred for cold climates such as Huskies, Akita's have been transplanted by people to warm climates this is not natural and one can expect behavioral and health problems.
Dogs react to heat by panting or digging holes in the earth under shady trees or bushes. Locking dogs in closed cars can be fatal because a car heats and so do dogs. Exercise raises your dog's metabolism and boosts his temperature, which in turn can turn to heatstroke. For obese dogs the problem is worse. Never exercise a dog in the heat of the day and keep his weight under control. It also a good idea to give your dog his water dish to enable him to drink before a walk.

Dogs don't have the luxury of overall cooling because their bodies have very few sweat glands, and most of those are in the footpads.Dogs cool themselves primarily by the process of panting and breathing, with the moist lining of their lungs serving as the evaporative surface.
Most people believe that the dog's tongue contains sweat glands, but this is not true. The dog's tongue and mouth are associated with many salivary glands that produce different forms of saliva. Some cooling takes place as the panting dog moves air across saliva-moistened surfaces of the mouth cavity.
Dogs also dissipate heat by dilating (expanding) blood vessels in the face and ears. Dilating blood vessels helps cool the dogs blood by causing it to flow closer to the surface of the skin.
hope this helps

Dogs don't have sweat pores on the body like humans do. Dogs sweat through their tongues, which is why they pant.

Dogs don't have sweat pores. They pant instead of sweating.

Dogs don't have sweat glands--they have to rely on panting to cool themselves off. That's one reason why it's so dangerous to leave them out in the heat.
