It could be, the tail gate on the A/C is usually not open too long and as soon as your toes leave the tailgate the adrenalin starts to flow and warms you up fast. 
The only instances where I have been really cold on a straight freefall jump were while in a helicopter with the doors open the entire time and while civilian skydiving in a Twin Otter or similar A/C where, again, the door was open during the entire flight.
I cannot tell if the dog is on oxygen or not. I would assume that since the human is on oxygen, the dog would need to be also. Looks more like a vanity photo, good for publishing out in the open.
