Amazing when you think these dogs can run bare pawed in the snow for days with zero issues.
EDIT: http://phys.org/news/2012-01-dogs-ice-paws.html
"The paws have pads containing a high fat content, which freezes less easily than other tissues, but they also have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, which means they should lose heat easily..."
