Don,
In reality, it is an expression used by the Australian Aborigines. I found
the "Eskimo" reference to make it appropriate for you. See what happens, I
go out of my way to personalize it, and you slap me down. : )

OK, next time it is freezing, and you are on the verge of death. I hope you
don't have 3 dogs to save you.

The Eskimo tribes of Alaska determine temperature based upon how many
dogs they bring in to cuddle within order to stay warm throughout the
night. The Eskimos cherished their dogs as much as they did each other.

"Eskimo"??? We're a bit more politically correct up here.
We refer to the northern people as Inuit.
