Sweat

• Dogs sweat with their paws. There are small glands found in the pads of dogs that allow the dog to sweat.
  
  

Sensitive Paws

• Much like our feet, dogs paws are sensitive to the elements. Dogs may lift their paws a lot, almost like a dance, when walking on hot surfaces.
  
  

Handy Paws

• Dogs can shake with their paws, scratch or open doors, pull items towards them and hold prey captive.
  
  

Swift Paws

• Canines' paws allow them to run faster, longer, and make sharper turns than many other mammals.
  
  

Plowing Paws

• Dogs use their paws to dig. They like to bury bones and other treasures. They also might paw at their bed before lying down. This is a holdover from their wild days, when they would dig a hole in the dirt in order to keep warm at night.
