Quote:Dogs can keep warm on frozen ground, thanks to a specialised circulation system in their paws, say scientists.

Researchers in Japan used electron microscopes to study the internal structure of domestic dogs' paws.

They found that heat was transferred from the artery to the network of veins, meaning that cooled blood could not return to the body.
