Some food for thought from Ruby the Therapy Dog:
"PSA: We've already heard of 2 dogs that scorched their pads on hot pavement! Mattie's wearing Crocs. She moon-walks when we first put them on but finds her normal stride when we get going. The look on her face says: 'Hey, no hot paws!' She only wears them while on a leash outside or she'd chew them off. And we took our time getting her used to them. She hates boots but these high-tops stay on. And they're purple for epilepsy awareness. She got LOTS of laughs & attention at her hospital visits. Would you go barefoot on hot pavement?💜"
