A Washington state veterinary hospital says the dog's injuries were so severe that it exposed raw muscle.
The most common warning you hear about pets in the summer is to not lock them in a car on a hot day. Another thing to watch for is whether the pavement they are walking on is too hot for their paws.
A dog in Medical Lake, Wash., is recovering after his animal pads were burned off. The Medical Lake Veterinary Hospital posted on Facebook that Olaf the dog was brought to them after his owner noticed his pads were bloody while on a walk.
Veterinary Hospital Practice Manager, Jeannette Dutton, told KEPR that Olaf's injuries were so severe that it exposed raw muscle.
Hot weather means hot pavement!
Olaf walked over a mile on the Fish Trap Trail before his owner realized his pads were burned, and even then he wasn't whining or limping! He is one tough cookie (and exceptionally sweet cookie).
A good rule of thumb is if the pavement is too hot for your hand it's too hot for your dogs' pads.
