Some people like to preserve their pet's paw print with a simple DIY craft. They press the paw into plaster or clay, leaving behind a paw print that hardens into permanence.
Some artists allow animals to walk through paint, leaving colorful paw prints behind on canvas.
Paw prints are also a part of our popular culture. Paw prints adorn jewelry, clothing, school supplies, and more.
Many pet owners display paw print patterns on their cars, coffee mugs, and other items in order to identify themselves as proud parents of dogs and cats.
Scientists are also interested in paw prints. The fossilized prints of ancient animals tell us much about how they walked and lived.
Researchers can also use paw prints to track the presence of modern-day animals, too. Wolf paw prints, for example, are much larger than domestic dog paw prints; you may not see the secretive wolves, but you can find what they leave behind.
