Cats, dogs and animal 'facts' at home, sentence 15

A dog's nose temperature changes through the day, so a warm, dry nose is not a reliable sign of illness; eating, drinking and behaviour are better signs.

Who acts: nose temperature, warm dry nose, eating · What happens: change, not be, be · To what, where: reliable sign, better signs
