"Dogs have sweat glands on the pads of their paws and on their noses.
...When these glands are active, they leave the nose
and pawpads slightly moist and help these specialized skin features
maintain their functional properties. The odor associated with dog paw pads
is much more noticeable on dogs with moist paw pads than on those with dry
pads."

Look at those talons above! Ok...so here's the reason I titled the post "nose sweat"--yes dogs definitely sweat, just not over their whole body. Here's Gollum and his nose sweat. My shirt was soaked! LOL


Only a mother could love nose sweat!
