"Hey, human moms and dads—here’s what happens to my paws when you take me out in the blazing sun and the pavement is scorching! I sweat through my paws, and when it's this hot, I can't cool off because my paws are burning. Skipping a walk won’t hurt me—let me chill inside and take me out once the sun goes down." If you spot someone walking their dog on hot pavement, kindly suggest they try it barefoot for the rest of the way. They might just understand how much it hurts. Big thanks to 8 Below Husky Rescue for this important reminder. Thanks so much. Happy New Year.
