It remains on the animal, feeding on the blood of it's host, and possibly infecting the animal with diseases. Ticks are carriers of a number of diseases, some of which are quite serious and even fatal, to the animal and to people.

What tool would you use to remove a tick from the skin of a dog?
Your best option is to clearly mark the location of the tick, such as by trimming the hair around the tick, and then taking your dog to a veterinarian.

Trying to remove this at home is probably just going to make the situation worse.

Probably the head of the tick if you didn't remove it correctly.

you don'tANS2:A tick buries into the skin using barbed mouthparts. If you have plucked the body off the dog but the head remained buried in the skin, you may have some success in removing the head by using fine tweezers. Your dog will generally be better off waiting for the head to fester out like a splinter. If you don't see improvement in a couple days you probably should take the dog to a vet to get it attention. To properly remove a tick, you want to avoid anything that will make it regurgitate back into the dog. Squeezing, pulling, heating, most chemicals will all make the tick regurgitate and potentially start a bad infection in the dog.There's a good tick removal trick at the attached link.
What do you do if the head of a tick is still in dog?
The tick head is a foreign object that the body reacts to the way it would to splinter: redness and swelling, infection, sometimes the presence of pus. This is a process that will eventually--in most cases--force the object out. This process can be aided by digging the tick head out with a flame-sterilized needle and/or trying to grab it with tweezers.
