## Caption

Think of your dog’s paws before going outside! The pavement may look harmless, but it can get dangerously hot and burn their paws.

Pro tip: Use the palm test to check the ground temperature. If it’s too hot to hold your hand on the pavement for 10 seconds, it’s too hot for your pet. 

If this is the case, opt for walks during cooler times and stick to shaded areas.
