Dogs' noses are usually wet because a healthy, happy dog will be apt to lick their nose while an unhealthly, unhappy dog won't be as apt to lick their nose.
I'm a predator (Hunter (Dog)) I need to be able to creep up on my prey with the wind in my face, thus blowing my scent away from my prey. It's the same as putting your finger in your mouth wetting it and sticking it in the air, as a target shooter I need to know the wind direction. As a Rugby kicker it helps to know the wind direction. That's why we haven't got wet noses, because we can wet our finger and stick it in the air. Cats on the other hand do not need such a large expanse of wetness as they are opportunistichunters they will sniff out a mouse run then sit on a post fence or hide in the grass and wait until the prey comes to them, they also have extremely good hearing. Now go one stage further why are bovine noses dripping wet, because they lose the sight of what they are about to eat as it gets nearer to their mouths, so their noses sent-taste with the droplets of wetting agent they produce on their noses, certain reptiles do the same with their tongues. To sum up a dog has a wet nose to help it tell the wind direction, thus aiding it's hunting ability.

What does it mean when a dogs nose is warm?
If a dog has a warm or a wet nose, that does not necessarily mean that it is sick. This is a common fallacy. Many people believe that a dog's nose should always be cold and wet. However, a dog's nose does not always have to be cold and wet. After resting, sleeping, or just lying around the house being lazy all day, a dog's nose is often warm and dry. This is especially true if the dog has not recently licked or used his nose for anything. If the dog's nose is constantly warm and dry, this may indicate that something may not be right with its nose and you should consider taking the dog into a vet for evaluation. A vet will be able to determine if the dog's warm dry nose is normal or not. Generally, a dog with a warm, dry nose is not a sick dog.
