Your puppy never cared... but had a preference?

I think animals would prefer cooler water in the summer simply because it's so dang hot outside. (And, by extension, rather warmer water in the winter.) But I live in a state where the animals sometimes die of heatstroke unless the ranchers go out there and hose them down repeatedly. Maybe in more northern climates the temperature doesn't matter so much.
