Not per se. Echo location requires the animal to emit high frequency sounds then tracking targets by the reflection of that sound. Dogs do not emit high frequency sounds, but do have acutely sensitive hearing, and are able to track by distinguishing the direction from which sound originates.

Their spines both bend in different directions; dolphins move up and down and shraks from side to side. Dolphins are much closer related to dogs than they are to sharks.
Technically no. You are a mammal, and your body temperature can fluctuate over the course of a day.
However, they are "endotherms", their body temperature is relatively constant and doesn't usually depend much on the environmental temperature (unless the ambient temperature is too hot ... or too cold ... for the body to compensate for).
Dolphins can swim to 5 to 12 km per hour.

What are the features of the dolphin?
Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in seventeen genera. They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves, and are carnivores, mostly eating fish and squid. Dolphins are social, living in pods of up to a dozen individuals. Individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations. They make ultrasonic sounds for echolocation. Dolphins will stay with injured or ill individuals, even helping them to breathe by bringing them to the surface if needed. One common feeding method is herding, where a pod squeezes a school of fish into a small volume, known as a bait ball. Individual members then take turns plowing through the ball, feeding on the stunned fish. Dolphins occasionally leap above the water surface, sometimes performing acrobatic figures. Dolphins enjoy riding waves and frequently surf coastal swells and the bow waves of boats, at times "leaping" between the dual bow waves of a moving catamaran. Occasionally, they playfully interact with swimmers. Dolphins are multicellular, heterotroph, eukaryotic. They sleep with one brain awake and the other asleep so when a predator comes they will sense it and escape.
Multicellular, heterotroph, eukaryotic, and they move from place to place.
Dolphins are social mammals, living in groups called pods. But they are not just friendly to other dolphins, they are also known to protect humans from sharks by swimming around the human or charging at the shark to make them leave.
Dolphins have been known to show cultural behavior, a trait that was thought to be unique only to humans, which may be why they are so intelligent.
Another reason why they are so friendly to humans is because their curious of us. Of course, a dolphin being curious isn't always a good thing. When dolphins get to close to boats, they can get caught in a net injured by a propellers from a boat.

Do dolphins kill the same amount of people as sharks?
Killer whales are not considered dangerous to humans and do not prey on humans. There are accounts of killer whales turning on their keepers in Sea-world etc but these 'attacks' are extremely rare and the killer whale's in these instances did not attack the humans for food, more likely the attacks were due to frustration at being kept in captivity. Killer whales are quite capable of attacking and killing humans but choose not to, we are simply not on the menu. Sharks on the other hand are less fussy about which animals they prey on and if the shark is big enough and of the predatory variety then humans can be very much on the menu. Great whites, Bull sharks, Tiger sharks and Mako sharks kill between 3 and 4 people every year. When you compare this number to crocodiles who kill around 3000 people a year or tigers who kill hundreds of people a year it is quite clear that sharks have an undeserved reputation and the movie Jaws has a great deal to do with this.

What is the hole called through which whales breath?
Whales have lungs and come to the surface to breathe. Their nostrils called blowholes are located on the top of the head to access air easily. Whales exhale, condensation from the 2 blowholes forms a 'v-shaped' 'blow'. when they submerge they hold their breath.
