Well, if they didn't have paws, what would they use to walk on? "Paws" is just a word we use to refer to an animal's feet. Wolves use their feet for walking and running, and sometimes for digging and fighting.

No thumbs, so holding a shovel is out of the question.


Actually, paws are very efficient tools for excavation. The backward movement throws the dirt behind the animal, keeping it out of the way as the animal digs. Claws help break up the soil and with both paws going a canine can dig very fast when necessary.
