I have dug a bunch out. And have been biten for the service. How much the dog will let you get away with determines the best approach. Lots of help holding the dog down is a good idea. A doggie downer also helps.

It's a grease-based topical ointment that's applied to splinters and similar wounds to make the foreign object work its way to the surface. Apply the salve and bandage the wound and wait a couple of days. You might have to fashion a neck cone to keep the dog from licking or biting the bandaged foot.

Examine with a very bright light.
You could try pressing a very sticky adhesive tape to the dog pads if it's on the surface but hard to see. The odds are it will work its way out on its own or dogs would have gone extinct a long time ago.

Here are three simple steps to creating a makeshift muzzle in case of emergencies:
Make a loop using a gauze roll, thin leash, triangular bandage, or any other piece of wide cloth. Do NOT use thin items such as string or shoelaces. ...
Tie loop under the snout.
Tie the strips behind the ears (not around the neck).
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve works as a good "Drawing Salve", also helps to relieve the pain.
